>"Paths of Native Africa, Inc.", a non-profit group in San Francisco,
>California, USA, dedicated to activities designed to help the human family,
>is initiating a series of African Festival fundraising benefit concerts from
>October - December 2003 at several concert halls in the San Francisco Bay
>Area, in order to raise the funds to buy, ship, and pay for the installation
>and maintenance of water pumps and generators in Mali, West Africa. The
>first of these concerts occurs at "Shattuck Down Low" in Berkeley this
>Sunday, October 19, 2003, 8pm, 2284 Shattuck Ave., & costs $10.
>
>The people of Dogon Country and other villages in Mali are at risk of dying
>in large numbers from lack of water due to the yearly August-November
>drought. Water pumps and generators would help the Dogon and people of other
>villages in Mali survive the drought.
>
>A descriptive brochure, "Drought-Buster Benefit Project: Water Pumps For
>Mali, West Africa", along with a sample African Festival concert event
>poster/postcard, are available online at the website pages below. The
>website is maintained by a technology-oriented Special Interest Group (SIG)
>within "Paths of Native Africa, Inc." called "Friends of African Outlet",
>which focuses on Appropriate Technology for Renewable Energy and Sustainable
>Living in Developing Nations and Villages.
>
>Please join us in making the volunteer efforts of Paths of Native
>Africa/Friends of African Outlet SIG, in the production of a series of
>wildly successful benefit fundraising music and dance festivals and
>concerts, by performers from the "AFRICAN DIASPORA", a rousing success. The
>proceeds from these successful benefits would purchase and install water
>pumps and generators in the Villages of Mali. Besides saving lives,
>installing the water pumps and generators will help to preserve the unique
>cultures of Mali and the Dogon tribal way-of-life, in particular.
