For Ned members not familiar with the work of Ray & Jackie Brosseuk through Partners for Others, an overview of their AMAZING achievements can be found at the beginning of the Unbelievable Donations - 2008 thread.
Right now, Ray and Jackie are in Swaziland (with their 6 kids!) bringing a huge and ambitious set of projects to fruition (and listed here) - start-up projects that will rapidly become sustainable local businesses generating far-reaching and enormous benefits for the entire community they are working with.
One week ago, Meron and the Board of SOLID donated $500 (YAY SOLID!!!) to Swaziland Projects 2008 (through Partners for Others) and since then a Chip-In account has been created to see if the NED Community can at least match SOLID's donation and give the Swazi Community a hand.
Brick by brick - Every dollar REALLY does makes a huge difference!

WE'RE HALF-WAY!!!!!!!!!!!
And that $250 USD (1,750 rand) = 25 bags of cement.
Those bags of cement will produce more than 1000 blocks which - when sold - will fetch $750 USD. ($5,000 rand)
Every dollar REALLY makes a difference!!

As anyone reading along will have seen in the Swazi Project list , the Concrete Block Making Business is a real winner!!
Here's a copy of the photo of the Blocks drying in the sun that Jackie posted on the Unbelievable Donations 2008 thread.
As Jackie wrote in the original post:
Sensational effort!!
