I saw the Rocketboom piece and clicked on over to see what this is all about. I am moved by what I see here and have sent Nata Village a $25 donation to use as you need. It looks like suffering is a full-time job in Nata Village and I hope the donation eases the pain in some small way, for someone.

Please keep up the good work. It clearly makes a difference.

It's nice to know that people are doing so much to help others. My donation is small, but I pray that the one drop I give is joined by enough others to become a flood. Thank you for your efforts.

I deeply commend you on your work in Nata Village. I'm a firm believer that anyone can make a change in the world, if only we just tried more often. You have proven this and set a deeply passionate example for those who hear you.

I'm glad to donate and urge others to do this same.

Thank you.

After seeing the Rocketboom interview I explored your nice blog and made a donation. You are doing really good work here and I would like to help. Is there a carpenter in town that could build benches for the waiting room?

I also saw your interview on Rocketboom. I tried to donat and was not able to. It asked for my Provice even thou I am in the U.S. I tried several times, what am I doing wrong??
I am going to be in Botswana visiting a friend for the month of July, I hope to visit Nata again. If I do get there I hope to meet with you adn see how things are going. I will on my return encouage my friends via a DVD to donat to Nata.

I saw the rocketboom piece and then spent some time on your website. From that point on I juts had to donate some cash, It feels so much betetr when I know that the money will go direct to these good people that nedd it and not to some corrupt official or large admin system.

If there is any other way we can help just let us know. I am not rich but I will try to help in any way I can - keep up your spirits, we are seperated by thousands of miles - but by mere inches when we touch each other in our minds and hearts.

A great quote from a fav film of mine, feels right - Schindlers list:

"Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire"

all the best...

Just watched the Rocketboom episode, came here, looked around and donated. I intend to give again and will be pointing colleages at work towards this.

You are making a difference in the world.

Thank you!

I have many friends there. I want to know how it works. Mr and Mrs Thiro, and daughter Keletso are people I love there Erastus Mjaye and his family were also good friends to me. I know how big a problem it is . I have lost so many very good friends.

It's so inspiring to read of the difference that people can make in other people's lives and I am honored to know my donation will help the people of Nata a little in their struggles with HIV and poverty.

Great Website and great work! Congratuations!

I'd like to ask you for some help. I need to find some inforamtion on Botswana teenagers as I'm writing an English textbook for Hungarian 14-15 year olds, and I really want to have a child featured in it from Botswana. I thought it could be an orphan from your village - obviously not an existing person, but an immaginary character who's true to life. In the book, characters have their own blogs and make comments on each other's. They come from places around the world, and this way children using the course could learn how children and people in general live in the world. I would need some help in forming the character of the Botswana teenager, his/her typical day, etc. I would very much appreciate if you could help me with some information.

Many thanks,

Judit Fehér

I Live in Australia, I just donated $10,,but I would have spent money for a CD, if you can organise someone to donate their time and recording devices to caputre the amazing singing of the people of Nata, I would buy it, I just loved the video of the young Mabogo group singing. It gave me goose bumps. Do they know how truely gifted and special their type of harmony and depth is? I sang in a chior for years, but nothing moves me more than the soul and spirit of African singing. So uplifting. There's a fundraising idea!! Much love to the beautiful children of Nata xx
