speak at the Humanitarian Day Project as part of FESPAD/World

manage and grow their businesses. She described the 3
ways to accomplish the goals and dreams of any
organization. During her visit she was also able to meet
with the children sponsored by Itafari donors and work
with all of the organizations within the country with
whom Itafari partners.

May 2 - 30, 2006: Itafari Board President, Victoria Trabosh,
traveled to Rwanda for the month of May to meet with local
partners in support of a variety of programs including micro
enterprise, education, music, widows and orphans. Ms. Trabosh also met with school children to provide
pen pals
for children in Portland. Last December, Mrs. Debbie Hushbeck's
5th grade class from Portland, Oregon raised $1,300 through
the sale of ornaments for the children in Rwanda. As a result
of Ms. Trabosh's visit, they will now be able to "meet"
Rwandan children through letters and pictures and begin
to form friendships that will last a lifetime. An online
journal/log will be available on the Itafari website.
