Hey Mark,
Please pass along to everyone that our trip to Africa is going extremely well, with all of you here in spirit.
Have heard daily testimony from Rwandan survivors, and was even at a Liberation Day ceremony on the 4th of July in which the Presidents of Rwanda, Ethiopia, and Uganda all spoke. Just awesome.
Equally as rich was when I was able to present a donation on behalf of our church for $500 to over 400 students at Gakoni High School for genocide orphans last Thursday. It was a public ceremony with all the students there sitting on the grass before us. Just beautiful.
I felt incredibly proud to be part of our congregation, and to enjoy your friendship and support. Internet too slow here to send pictures. More later, with love, Drew
Drew Beiter, a member of the UU Church of East Aurora gave his multi-media presentation on the genocide occurring in Darfur this past Sunday, January 11th, 2009, at the UU Church of Niagara Falls. This is the third Church in our area at which Drew has given his presentation. (Scroll down for details about his presentation at the Hamburg and East Aurora churches, and more detail about the presentation itself.) The Niagara Falls church intends to display a “Save Darfur” banner on its facade, just as the East Aurora and Hamburg churches have done.

Drew continues to offer this engaging, multimedia presentation to other churches in the area. Please contact uueastaurora@gmail.com if you would be interested in hosting Drew at your congregation.

Our very own Drew Beiter gave his presentation at the UU Church in Hamburg, and they have now raised their own banner to help raise awareness of the genocide in Darfur.
Here are a few pictures from the event!
Proudly displaying banner
