Hello fellow West Virginians,

I'm currently trying to put on a Youth Summer camp in Kedougou, Senegal.

The camp goal is to extend valuable life skills such as leadership, communication and entrepreneurship to students who currently have no venue to learn them. These skills will make the students more attractive hires in a narrow local job market and allow them to play a stronger role in the development of their home communities.

Please help me raise the funds to put on this camp. For more information and to donate please visit the Peace Corps link at

https://www.peacecorps.gov/index.cfm?shell=resourc es.donors.contribute.projDetail&projdesc=685-126

Also, please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or if you would like to see photos of summer camp 2008, which was a huge success.

Many thanks and let's go 'eers,
Thomas
