Zimfest is being held this year at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, WA from June 27-30th (see 2013.zimfest singulair online.org) with the Marketplace in front of Xavier Hall around the afternoon concert stage. We will be bringing the hand-crafts from the villages, CDs and T-shirts, as well as providing information about our work in Zimbabwe.
We run this booth with the help of volunteers and can’t do it without you! Please let us know just as soon as possible how you can be involved. Just click on the link in this email, but do so very soon so we can make plans.
Once you enter your email as your sign-on, this website will show you our Booth’s hours of operation and the specific shifts with which we need help. First it sends you a recap of the times for which you signed up, and then it sends a reminder two days before your shift, and also can let you know who else is working!

Please help us spread the word about the upcoming concert and fundraiser in Portland this next Saturday the 20th…by using facebook, email etc. you can make a serious contribution to our efforts to raise money for the rural school children in the Jangano project located in the Dewedzo Mountains of Zimbabwe:
• Eight bands, of both children and adults, will play high-energy music from Zimbabwe and Botswana for four hours! These are the marimba students of MyLinda King and we greatly appreciate this incredible support to pay tuition for these Jangano students. (School is not free in Zimbabwe!)
• Put on your dancing shoes and come to Portland Foursquare Church 2830 NE Flanders St. Portland, OR from 12-4:30 April 20th.
• Silent auction and raffle for some great goods and services as well incredible hand-crafts bought from the villagers in Zimbabwe who are recipients of Ancient Ways services!veroxybd.com

Always feel free to write or call with questions. Please read more about the Jangano students at https://ancient-ways.org/projects/jangano/campaign-to-keep-jangano-children-in-school/! Thank you!

We have two more days that are available this year to use for fully tax-deductible donations for 2012. We, at Ancient Ways as well as the residents of Mhondoro and Dewedzo Mountains, certainly appreciate all of what you have done in the past and however you help in the future.
We have great goals to accomplish and are able to fulfill these commitments because of your sustaining support. Health for all residents, and youth wellbeing (physically, emotionally, socially, academically), are our primary focuses for 2013. If you have not already visited our website check out www.ancient-ways.org or specifically for donating this year, go to https://ancient-ways.org/about/join-or-donate/2013-focus/. If you wish to use a credit card monthly, please call 877-TATENDA or 541-259-HOPE to set up a reoccurring payment. For example, $5.21 a week builds a well in Zimbabwe! And, $100 provides health care for 50 people, 40 of which are children! Are either of these within reach for your family?
Thank you if you have already earmarked our organization for your charitable giving! Please feel free to forward our story to a friend or family member. It takes a collaborative team here and there to move the wheels of progress. You are an important spoke in making the circle strong.
Wishing you and yours a safe, profitable, and happy new year!Казарки

Great News! We are partnering with one of our music community members to raise money for our Zimbabwean Youth Well Being children utilizing the Pampered Chef products. People like to give gifts and Pampered Chef makes it easy to:
• order high quality and unique kitchen items,
• receive your order (or send a gift) in a timely way, and
• send up to 25% of the order cost to Ancient Ways!
We decided to collaborate with Robin Reimer as our consultant. She is donating time and proceeds to Ancient Ways. We thought you should know about this great way to ‘contribute’ to our efforts in Zimbabwe!

From November 22nd to December 12th you can order: 1) online www.pamperedchef.biz/robinreimer – choose Ancient Ways as your fundraiser, or 2) or talk to Robin by phone at (541) 908-4779. Your order will arrive in 7-11 days. It’s all so easy!

The funds raised will be put towards the services provided by the Youth Well Being Program. The focus includes: their music, library, after school activities, Life Skills Learning Retreats, Underwear for Over There, and/or Monthly Care for Over There.

Thanks for jumping on board and considering this as one of your gift-giving ideas for the 2012 holiday season! Please call or email Robin at robinandchris1@msn.com with any questions!
Here are a few FAQs:
• Each order has a $5.25 shipping/handling fee if the order is local mid-Willamette Valley. The website calculates shipping.
• If you spend $75.00 or more on products, you will receive a FREE stackable cooling rack with your order. It is the December Guest Special.
• Payments can be made by credit card or check to Robin Reimer.

We have made great headway in raising funds for the school children in the Dewedzo region who are in the Jangano project. We only have 12% left to raise to keep these students in school for 2012! We started this year with $2,200, have raised over $3,200 in the last 2 months, and we have less than $750 left, thanks to many of your efforts.
Our challenges with keeping children in school have been more than a few but we are holding the vision. I want to encourage you to contact me right away if can offer some part of the $750. Please feel free to go on the website https://ancient-ways.org/projects/jangano/campaign-to-keep-jangano-children-in-school/ and make a donation of any amount there, or send a check to Ancient Ways at PO Box 346 Scio OR 97374. We also can take credit cards of any type over the phone at 877-TATENDA. Do consider this request now as the children’s school fees must be paid right away. The immediacy of the concern is great because as soon as Fradreck returns home to the villages, he will be confronted with deciding who doesn’t go to school based upon our success on this side. Please feel free to write me with any questions at windgatherer@ancient-ways.org. Thank you to all of you who have been helping, both financially, and in mind and body.

We have received the $200 donation for Fradreck’s personal deze – Thank You – Tatenda for everyone’s continued support! You may still make donations to support the Jangano project on the website at https://ancient-ways.org/?page_id=34 – or by check to PO Box 346 Scio OR 97374.

During Fradreck and Sam Mujurus’ US tour (until September 19th) we have a special offer of free gifts when you support the work in the Dambatsoko region, being done by the Jangano team directed by Fradreck. For $200 you receive Fradreck’s personal deze, which he has used in many countries around the world since 1996 as he has been sharing the traditional mbira music from Zimbabwe. (This is a limited time and incredibly special offer.) For $100 you receive a Mwoyochena kuZimbabwe CD or an Ancient Ways t-shirt. For $25 you receive a gift card of your choice. All proceeds are benefiting Jangano. Email us at gogreen@ancient-ways.org or call 541-259-HOPE or 877-TATENDA of your interest right away!
