Wine to Water Filter Build Logistics for Community & Private Party Builds Wine To Water Filter Build Logistics for Community & Private Party Builds Choose a Venue Make sure the venue has enough space for an assembly line style build with multiple tables to hold the filter parts. See the sample diagram on the next page for reference. Keep in mind that you could use your own home! The important thing is to get the space donated to cut down on overhead costs of the event. Start Fundraising *A 50% deposit is needed for the filters 30 days prior to your event date. *Full payment is needed 30 days after your event date. ➢ Create a Campaign to track your progress and start fundraising by following this link. ​ ​ Make sure you check out the Guidebook linked HERE for more step by step instructions ​ ​ on how to create your campaign. ➢ Your campaign is where you can submit your deposit online or you can send in a check to PO Box 2567, Boone NC 28067. For more questions about your campaign, email Madi Barker at [email protected]. ​ ​ ➢ Consider charging an entry fee to minimize the amount of fundraising up front. You can create a ticketing feature on your campaign if necessary. ➢ Get sponsors who will donate, provide event space or food for your event using the ​ ​ handout linked HERE. ​ ​ Enlist Help ➢ Find a group of passionate people willing to help you in your event and strategize a plan for invitations, social media, fundraising, etc. ➢ Have your leadership team help you with inviting their contacts and networks to the event, soliciting sponsorships, and sharing the event on social media channels. ➢ The key is to find people who can get the job done and put their skill set to work! RSVP & Marketing ➢ A good way to know how many people are coming to your event ahead of time is to have them RSVP or sign up. You can use an outside service like Evite, create a ticketing campaign where tickets need to be purchased beforehand, or you can simply tell people to participate in your campaign. ➢ Spread the word by posting your campaign on your social media channels, creating posters and flyers to pass out, and sending an email out that includes marketing materials to your contacts.

Dr. Hawa Abdi, "the Mother Teresa of Somalia" and Nobel Peace Prize nominee, is the founder of a massive camp for internally displaced people located a few miles from war-torn Mogadishu, Somalia. Since 1991, when the Somali government collapsed, famine struck, and aid groups fled, she has dedicated herself to providing help for people whose lives have been shattered by violence and poverty. She turned her 1300 acres of farmland into a camp that has numbered up to 90,000 displaced people, ignoring the clan lines that have often served to divide the country. She inspired her daughters, Deqo and Amina, to become doctors. Together, they have saved tens of thousands of lives in her hospital, while providing an education to hundreds of displaced children.

As she struggles to survive, Wariinga begins to realize that her problems are only symptoms of a larger societal malaise and that much of the misfortune stems from the Western, capitalist influences on her coun- try. An impassioned cry for a Kenya free of dictatorship and for African writers to work in their own local dialects, Devil on the Cross has had a profound influence on Africa and on post-colonial African literature.
