		EM reader survey to benefit ElectricAid In this issue of EM a reader survey is included, for each survey completed and returned EM will automatically donate €2 to ElectricAid. We are deeply grateful to EM for their continuing support and generosity. This will help us contribute in other areas of the Developing World. Click here for the Survey If EM gets a 10% response rate, ElectricAid will benefit to the tune of €3,300. If 25% of you respond, €8,250 will be available to fight poverty, ill-health, and injustice. But what does this mean in concrete terms? Here are some examples of what ElectricAid did in recent projects with similar amounts of money: Repaired 20 houses and built six pit latrines in an Ethiopian slum – for €6,580 Provided tools & equipment for skills training for HIV/AIDS orphans in Kenya – for €9,137 Set up and equipped a tailoring skills project for indigenous people in Ecuador – for €2,555 Set up a library service for long stay hospital in-patients in Ireland – for €5,000 Provided six villages with hand-pump wells for clean water in rural Liberia – for €7,000 Started an income-generating piggery project for HIV/AIDS widows & orphans in Uganda – for €6,579 Provided IT equipment for a school for children with autism in Ireland – for €5,000 These are real projects completed in the last two years. Unfortunately, we refuse support to many fine projects because of lack of funds. But, by simply filling in your questionnaire – and getting your friends and colleagues to do so too – can help us to provide at least one, and maybe two or more, additional life-saving and life-changing developments. What could be simpler?		If you provide your contact details at the end of the survey you will also be entered into a draw for an amazing break at Banna Beach!
