This is the first project i would like to introduce.
I've sponsored their website ( through my webdesign company that's where the odd url comes from ) but their own domain is the next step.
Even tough the site is far from finished as you will see for yourselves, we needed it to be online, because at this point we are pushing the Orphan Care project,

Hi,
Even tough I've got a few gates already, (whom I've actually been neglecting a bit lately), I could not get around this one without doing what I had to do.
As I'm living in rural South Africa, there is no way, one can ignore Aids and HIV and the devastating effects they have on the daily live of hundreds of thousands of peoples.
There are a few aid-projects running in the area, and by creating this gate, I would like to give them a space where they can be heared.
It might be a drop on a hot plate, but everything is better...

An adolescent 4.5m whale shark washed ashore approximately 1.2km north of the St. Lucia Swimming beach. These whale feed exclusively on small food like plankton and pelagic fish. Their mouths can be up to 1.5 meters wide. And although docile, they have been known to attack fishing boats. However only when the angler is fighting a large fish like a tuna. They are common off northern KwaZulu Natal and Mozambique. And in fact occur in all tropical and subtropical waters, both inshore and deep ocean waters.

Dear commongate friends,
I know that this isn't about traveling, but as I need to reach as much people as I can, I'm launching this call-up here.
I'm just asking for a few minutes of your time.
Our region is highly affected by Aids/HIV.
In one of the poorest areas, Khula village, there's an HIV/AIDS project called :

I was in Mozambique 2 days ago, and since I've never been there for as long we are living in South Africa altough it's just 250 km from where we live, ( see http://amazulu.commonga...te.com/ )I was actually travelling! (not?).
