Have Fun - Do Good

JULY 6, 2006

Last month Nancy White wrote a post about a very cool fundraising blog, the Nata Village blog , that I want to share with you. Readers can donate directly to the village through the blog's PayPal account. Nata is a village of 5,000 people in Botswana. Botswana has the second highest HIV infection rate in Africa.

David Barnard has completed six of these grueling races: The Kalahari Desert in Botswana and South Africa (its name is derived from a Tswana word meaning "the great thirst"). He runs these ultramarathons to raise money and generate awareness for charitable causes. The Sahara Desert in Egypt (the hottest desert on earth).

The first opportunity that I had to go back was to work in a refugee camp in Botswana. The first four years, because I was a student at the time, there's no good way to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars when you are 20 years old and have no experience or results besides to get a lot of people to raise money individually.
