change the truth update

By now you have probably noticed the modifications to the blog: new color, new name, labeling by subject, etc. Because we are now building a website that will be devoted exclusively to Change the Truth, it will make sense to eventually have the majority of Ugandan updates appear there. Changethetruth.org should be out from under construction by the end of April. In the meantime, I will continue to use this blog to update you on Change the Truth issues, but will focus on other subjects more and more often.

The Change the Truth video is near completion. Look for excerpts on the new website. I will incorporate this six-minute video into my power point presentation, which is about my work in general and the work in Uganda specifically. Various groups have started to ask me to make presentations, so as time goes on, more and more people will know about - and hopefully support - the project.

Funds have been sent to St. Mary Kevin Orphanage Motherhood to support the brick making and brick laying project! Thank you for your positive response to the request for aid. This project will help the children learn to help themselves succeed. I can’t think of a better way to assist.

The Change the Truth brochures, expertly designed by my friend Brian Reisinger, are now at the printer. They will be mailed soon and will be distributed at the opening of my Uganda exhibition, at presentations, etc. If you receive one and have already made a contribution this year, please pass it along to a friend.

Other goodies to look for on the website will be Change the Truth t-shirts, as well as beaded jewelry made by the children! All proceeds from the sales of these items will go directly to the orphanage.
