Who ever said one person can't make a difference.. |

Welcome to the first e-News of 2007! We hope you enjoyed the holidays and are keeping up your resolutions. In this issue you'll find the usual good news, a volunteer profile (about me, as it were!) and an update from our intern in Kenya. Also be sure to check out our Featured Gran. The Adopt-A-Gran program is so rewarding because you get regular updates about your gran and see first-hand the difference you are making. Just please don't be intimidated by our one sponsor who not only bought new houses for unsponsored grans in Kenya, but adopts over 20 Grans in Haiti! Enjoy! |

In the summer of 2005, Kelly joined the team here at Help the Aged as a summer student. When her 12-week position was finished, she wasn't. Kelly continued to volunteer by being on the marketing committee and, in March, she began to design and edit our e-Newsletter.
