Seva Project, May – United Against Malaria

seva — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 00:58:57 +0000

In Africa, Malaria kills a child every 30 seconds and nearly one million people each year. Worldwide, 3.3 billion people are at risk of malaria – that’s half of the world population!

This month Seva is collecting donations for United Against Malaria, an effort of the United Nations Foundation. Your donations will go toward buying mosquito nets and malaria medicines for men, women, and children in Africa. Donating by check is tax deductible. Please make your check payable to: United Nations Foundation with United Against Malaria written in the note section. Cash donations will also be accepted. Learn more about United Against Malaria at www.unitedagainstmalaria.org

Seva Project, March – Clark Retirement Community

seva — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 22:54:56 +0000

Saturday, March 20, 2010 12:30-1pm

For March’s Seva project we will be visiting with residents of Clark Retirement Community. Plan on spending a half hour reading to, sharing stories with, and learning about a new friend. You’ll want to bring your favorite short stories or poems. Perhaps even pictures of your family. But most importantly – come with an open heart and a mind that’s free.

Date: Saturday, March 20, 2010
Time: 12:30pm – 1:00pm
Location: 1551 Franklin ST SE, Grand Rapids MI 49506

We need 10 volunteers for this project — please email amber if you are coming (or mark yourself as attending on the facebook event page). We will be paired with residents when we arrive and to show up with less than 10 would mean that some residents wouldn’t have a partner (which they are very much looking forward to!).

email azkilpatrick@gmail.com with any questions.

all love
amber
