Charity! Show staffers! This is an event you don't want to miss if you like either of those. Who doesn't like charity? Would you ever say you don't? Can you handle the societal stigma that would come with that? No choice then! All information after the break!
Final Reminder: Charity Chitchat with Natasha Levinger and Amy Keating Rogers
Do you have questions about “Filli Vanilli,” “Pinkie Pride,” and “Pinkie Apple Pie” that don’t fit into a tweet? Are you eager to get to know their writers better, Amy Keating Rogers and Natasha Levinger?
This Saturday is your chance!
During this Ponyville Live, Your Siblings, and Bronies for Good livestream we will interview both writers in parallel in a relaxed panel-like atmosphere. Apart from our prepared questions and topics, we will also accept your questions from the viewer chat.
Although the pegasi’s forecast shows a high probability of funsies to be had, having funsies is ancillary to the true purpose of the event: The next phase of our Seeds of Kindness fundraiser will be in support of a Your Siblings project by the nonprofit Child Need Africa, who are running the medical clinic in Uganda that we all have helped to fund in 2012. The site of the clinic was chosen because that region of the Rubirizi District is one of several especially impoverished parts of the country and also one with particularly bad access to medical services. There, the nonprofit aims to provide free healthcare to those who would otherwise not be able to afford it.
Over more than half a year that the clinic has been in operation and helped countless people who were suffering from malaria, worm infections, STDs, and other diseases, and provided medical education in secluded parts of the region, it showed that the medical situation was even more dire than the physician in charge had estimated. In order to keep up the level of service that they’ve been providing, they’ll need a strong and sustainable source of income for the clinic, one that will be independent of donations in the long term.
The first step to achieving this is by tapping into the flourishing real estate market in and around Kampala. Child Need Africa wants to buy and renovate a house there, so that the complete revenue from the rents can benefit the operation of the clinic. All the details of the project can be found on the Your Siblings website on their Permanent Income for the Clinic project page and in their latest blog post.
So long for today. We’ll be expecting you on Saturday!
