Sudanese Speaker on Vashon Island

On August 15, 1:00 p.m. at the Vashon United Methodist Church we will have a Global Student, Barnadas Bol who is Sudanese plus his two student colleagues speak on the current situation in Sudan and their experience as Kenya University students.  Barnadas is a cousin of Jacob Acier.  He and his fellow students are in the US on a study/speaking tour.  They are supported by their university in coming to Vashon.  Please invite other interested people to the talk.

180 Cows to go!

As some of you know, Jacob is engaged to a Sudanese woman living in Kenya. He has promised her family a dowery of 200 cows! So far he was able to borrow from his work, and recieved some money from friends to purchase 20 cows. The cows are now in the desert being bred to produce (hopefully) 20 more calves. At this rate, Jacob will be an old man before her family is paid, so we are trying to raise more money for more cows. The cows cost about 300$ each, so if you could contribute anything toward this effort, it would be greatly appreciated. For the bank account number or to mail a check for the cause please contact Jayne- jayne@sistersageherbs.com
