The Human Rights monitors have been very busy. They now have a new digital camera to document their work, and we now receive regular updates from the field, complete with digital images.
In the meantime, we are doing end-of-year fundraising to establish the Casa de Salud, a house near the hospital where we can house pregnant women close to their due dates. This will allow us to host women in a clean, comfortable community health center, located minutes away from the ultrasound clinic and hospital facilities before their labor or any complications associated with it begin. If we had such a house, we could have avoided the death of Antonie’s baby and the emergency of the 7-month premature baby that almost died on our hands.
A group of students at Harvard is repairing abandoned bicycles and reselling them to raise money for the project. They expect $4,600 in sales. The Roxbury Foundation has pledged $1,000. The Harvard Graduate Student Humanist Association is doing a party for the benefit of the project. We just received a donation from Dr. Edgar Yee and Mrs. Pamela Yee of $1,000, another from Cathleen and Brendan Randall, and many more from others. The American Humanist Association also just started a new campaign with their members on our behalf.
Our goal is to have $10,000 by January, and with the continuing support of our donors, we could soon meet that goal.
