OH Brings Water to Villagers in Andokope, Ghana

Orphans' Heroes Brings Clean Water to the Village of Andokope, Ghana Andokope is a lovely traditional village about a 15-minute drive from the town of Hohoe.  There are over 800 people living in Andokope, of which 216 are children. Up until August 2010, villagers were walking two miles to collect filthy water from the river in buckets and bowls. This water was a breeding ground for disease. We are happy to announce that due to the generosity of donors Jon and Paula Ball of Los Gatos, CA, Robert and Susan Majerus of Greeley, CO, Kent and Patricia Mills of Windsor, CO, the Lindholm Foundation of Laguna Niguel, CA, and the Carrico Family Foundation of Greeley, CO, Orphans' Heroes was able to address this issue. In August 2010, a water pump was installed in a central location in the village. Thank you to Nicholas Victus of Hohoe, Ghana for coordinating and overseeing the project. Currently of the 216 children in the village, only a handful attend school as they have to walk very far to another village. Orphans' Heroes plans to build a school in Andokope. To read more about the needs of the villagers in Andokope, or donate toward the school, please visit our website at orphansheroes.org.

Amnesty International: 2010 so far: Burma, Shell & Gaza

July 2010

News from Amnesty International

Dear Supporter Looking back over the past six months, I'm extremely proud of all we've achieved together, from buying radios for Burma to taking action for individuals at risk. I'm currently waiting for news of Troy Davis' hearing, a case that could be a major turning point in the battle against the death penalty in the USA. We'll let you know as soon as there are any developments.  Thank you for standing up for human rights. We couldn't do it without you.  Sincerely, Kate Allen Director Burma: breaking through censorship In a country where access to information is restricted by the military junta, you have funded the distribution of over 4500 radios – giving entire communities access to unbiased broadcasts. Last chance to buy a radio  Gaza: applying international pressure Gaza has barely been out of the headlines, and you've been taking action in your tens of thousands: calling for an independent inquiry into the flotilla incident, the release of Gilad Shalit and an end to the blockade. Read the latest Shell: demanding a Niger Delta clean up As the world focuses on the unfolding disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, oil spills continue to devastate the Niger Delta. Thanks to you, we were able to highlight Shell's role in this, with full-page newspaper adverts on the day of their AGM. Read more Control Arms: cluster bomb ban comes into force After years of campaigning, the Convention on Cluster Munitions, which formally bans the use of cluster bombs, is about to come into force. Find out more and join the celebrations Individuals: good news There have been positive developments in a number of cases this year, including Belarusian musician Igor Koktysh and the nine women human rights defenders in Nicaragua. Please call for the release of Patrick Okoroafor, who has been on death row in Nigeria since he was 14. Take action Events: spreading human rights awareness You can now book tickets for our Stand Up for Freedom gig at the Edinburgh Festival and Aftermath, a play about the forced return of asylum seekers to Iraq, currently running at the Old Vic in London.
