| Rockin' Out in Seoul for HIV/AIDS! |
Rubber Soul had rockin' bands spread across many cities:
There was also a dining fund-raiser in Madison!
All up, about $US 5,000 was raised for Meaningful Volunteer! Well done everyone!
This money will be used by Meaningful Volunteer to build a solar-powered school in Eastern Uganda.
Sizeable donations were also made to Little Travellers, Dr. Peters AIDS Foundation and Oxfam Canada.

Who is going to benefit from this in Uganda?
Esther N. is going to benefit from this.
Esther is thirteen years old and HIV positive. This has left infections in her ears and her tongue to get out of control. Esther will attend the solar powered school in Uganda and begin to learn to read and write. Currently, she cannot recognize a single letter of the English alphabet.
Her studies will be supplemented by on-line materials that Meaningful Volunteer has developed.
Esther, and many like her, will benefit from the help of all the organizers (you know who you are!) and volunteers of Rubber Soul.
