Compassion Response Network is presently a small group, and so the number of poor we can reach to provide free basic health care, the goal of the first pillar of our work, is limited. And so we seek to distribute cheap, simple and effective treatments according to our means, and to provide free basic health care within our projects to lift up the other three pillars.

We have presently commenced one project under the second of our pillars, "of comparative studies of all alternative treatments for HIV/AIDS". That is the Imusil project in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo.

The Kinshasa Imusil Project

The objective for the Kinshasa Imusil Project is to provide three advanced HIV/AIDS patients with an alternative free treatment (in this case Imusil), and to carefully monitor the progress of the patients through pre-treatment and post–treatment medical assessments and blood tests for up to six months after the commencement of the treatment. The results are then openly published, though the identity of the patients remains anonymous. Within the project, we identify patients by reference letters, A, B, C etc.

Imusil, or silver tetroxide, is provided as an injection on the first day of treatment, followed by three days of nursing observation of the patient. After the third day, the patient can go home. No more injections are required. Though in our project, further blood tests and medical checks are conducted for up to six months.

On Thursday 6^th/May/04, Albert (our project facilitator in Kinshasa) accompanied patient B (male, 36 year-old) to receive CD4 (immunity cell count) and Full Blood Count (of white corpuscles, red corpuscles and platelets) tests, and other tests (creatinine, ferritin, urea, liver function and liver enzymes) and medical examination and on the same day patient B received his Imusil injection. He had received a bDNA (viral load) test earlier, on 16/January/04.

On Monday 10^th/May/04, the boy patient A (17 years old) received the Imusil injection. As the boy was so young and not yet fully grown, the doctors chose to provide only 60% of the full Imusil dose. He had received the pre-treatment blood tests earlier (bDNA on 16/January/04, CD4 and Full Blood Count on 4/March/04, and other tests on 31/March/04).

Patient C, (female), having received all pre-treatment tests earlier, chose to discontinue her participation, and so never received the Imusil treatment.

The doctors overseeing the project, Dr Tsumbu and Dr Karo, selected another male AIDS patient D. He received the pre-treatment blood tests but died from AIDS and meningitis before receiving the Imusil injection. The doctors are consulting to find a patient E to receive the third Imusil injection.

On 21/June/04, both patients A and B received their first post treatment blood tests (bDNA, CD4 and FBC). These blood tests did not yet show any clear trend. We will publish full results in detail after the 4-months post treatment blood tests, when it is hoped a trend will have become established.

On 15^th/June, Albert reported regarding the improved condition of patients A and B.

"It is incredible metamorphoses and progress of patient health that I can observe. Patient B, his complexion became so beautiful, but more again, the candidose have completely disappeared. Patient B testified himself that he doesn't make any more illnesses as he was making before. For patient A (the boy), his complexion has a deep change, and all his organism took life. But now patient A is a little sick, he has the flu."

Funding the Kinshasa Imusil Project

Expenditure in Kinshasa

From 17/Oct/03 to 30/June/04, US$4,422.30 was sent to Kinshasa for the Imusil project. This has now been fully spent in the following way;

Private courier was required to send blood samples to Toga Laboratories in Johannesburg for triple profile blood tests (bDNA + CD4 + FBC). Extra unplanned expenses were incurred in January arranging for an unplanned extra courier delivery, and to provide pre-treatment blood tests to the fourth patient D. In Kinshasa most communication requires use of mobile phones, as house phone lines are uncommon. This has proven to be necessary but expensive.

On 2/August/04, a further US$400 was sent to Kinshasa to provide for pre-treatment blood tests for a fifth patient E, and general expenses during July-August/04.

The Inner Planning Circle has estimated that a further US$1,528.70 will need to be raised to complete the Kinshasa expenditure for the Imusil project, comprising

Triple profile refers to bDNA viral load, CD4 immunity cell count plus Full Blood Count (white corpuscles, red corpuscles, platelets).

Perth Central Office Expenditure

Most other central office expenses for the past year have been sponsored by secretary David Keane from his disability pension. We have had to stop construction and gifting of zappers + colloidal silver maker healing kits to service groups in Africa and Asia because all donations needed to be directed as first priority towards the Kinshasa Imusil project.

Expected Central Office Expenditure for the period 1/July/04 to 30/June/05

The total amount needed for both Kinshasa and Perth central office expenditure during the 04/05 financial year, to complete the Imusil project comes to AUD$4,800 = US$3,400. Funds presently available in the CRN bank book stand at AUD$10 only. We warmly thank the general public for their support to get us to where we are now, though the Imusil project cannot be concluded until this extra money is provided. Compassion Response Network is a charitable organisation, and we depend on public support for the continuation of our work. All donations received are audited to check that they are used only for the charitable purposes defined in the CRN Constitution.

We see our role as mediating between the people of Africa with AIDS so desperately invocative for the development of a comprehensive compassion response to the AIDS pandemic, and the men and women of goodwill throughout the affluent nations who are touched by their need and want to contribute to find a solution. We believe that the ONLY true solution is through lifting up the four pillars of the Compassion Response Network agenda. To our knowledge, we are the only group lifting up such a program of action. To realise such a program of action into practice, we need your support. All donations are warmly appreciated.

The Impact of AIDS on the Family

Bernard Maunda, one of our co-workers based in Nairobi, said in an email of 1/July,

"Truly, patient D's case gives a clear picture of AIDS sufferers and their families in the impoverished continent. So this is not an exceptional case as many cases are likely to be encountered in other trials. . . We should include the AIDS patients and their immediate families in the trials."

We had originally approached the Imusil trials as providing treatment only for individuals. But the lessons we encountered were so pronounced that we soon learned that we must respond to the whole family needs if the trials are to be affective. Patient A is an orphan with two brothers and three sisters, and both of their parents had died from AIDS. Patient B is a married man, and we had to address the problem of possible re-infection through sex within the marriage. But the situation for patient D really drove home to us the importance of responding to the entire family needs. He had for many years been openly acknowledged within the Academic Clinics of Kinshasa as HIV positive and an advanced AIDS patient. And so I shall refer to him by his actual name which is Mathieu. (This contrasts with our common practice of keeping the patients’ identity anonymous.)

Albert reported on June 16^th about Mathieu;

"This patient endures the pandemic since 1982, therefore since 22 years. He resisted during a long time, he himself says it. A lot of his patient colleagues already died, as he says it again himself. He thanks greatly God, he says, to continue to be again in life, it is a living miracle for him, he says."

Mathieu’s wife had died from AIDS several years earlier. Albert then described how Mathieu is at an advanced stage of dementia, and has lost his reasoning facilities.

Mathieu had all blood tests taken on Thursday 27^th/May. The Imusil treatment could have commenced on the same day, but he insisted that he first see the blood test results, which took a few weeks to be received. It was evident that Mathieu was very deeply concerned for the welfare of his seven teen-age children, whom he greatly loved.

When Albert visited the Mathieu family, he reported,

"At his home, dear David, there is the disaster and the desolation ...Deceased woman, abandoned children, famine, children no schooled ...it is mercy ....he is the patient with the more difficulty in our group, I think. But in the past this gentleman had enough means, he was working at the bank, he had some business."

It is not known whether Mathieu’s seven children are HIV infected, though at the time of their birth, both parents were infected. There was never sufficient money for Eliza antibody tests for the children. The boy Héritier, is aged about 14 or 15. The remainder, girls, are from 16 years to 20 years. It seems they have been hungry for ten years and without schooling for several years. Regarding food, Albert says, "They live day after day, by chance, when the dad can bring back something home, therefore there are many days that they can pass without eating something at all. These children don't seem really sick, they rather endure the malnutrition, and lack of the affection as there is not a mother. The dad goes out in the morning for fighting for life, he comes back only in the night. We can see that the dad had means in the past, because his children speak French well, what in our country here means that the dad had put them in the best schools where the school fees cost dear. Now children don't go at school any more because there is not means to pay for the school expenses."

Arrangements were made to commence the Imusil treatment for Mathieu on Friday 19^th/June. Because Mathieu had no money for bus fares, Albert arrived at his home in the early morning hours, to accompany Mathieu to the clinic. Albert reported,

"When I arrive at his place, I only find the children. They told me that their father had a crisis and that he has been taken in emergency to the General Hospital. On that, I also went back myself there to inquire of him. I found the compartment where he was, he was yet in the emergency room, he was in coma after having been resuscitated. It made me really pity!".

On the next day, Mathieu was interned in the General Hospital.

"Here, there is no social security. Each person provides himself to his needs, even with regard to the AIDS patients. When someone is sick, it is the family who has to pay for treatment expenses: the daily expenses of internment, provide the daily food and all other expenses. The hospital doesn't give anything of free, it only gives the medical cares which are invoiced. The state of our hospitals is dirty, if you see it, you would be very astonished. It is not beautiful to see, the middle is unhealthy and smells a bad odour. Patients beds follow one another, each patient is next to the other patient. If a person doesn't have enough means (to afford a private clinic) he goes to the general hospital. Now the health situation of Mathieu is not good .To see him, he has got thinner a lot."

In the first week of his stay, Mathieu has already a bill to pay of over US$700, increasing by US$60 a day. Mathieu could only gain admittance to the general hospital because his house had been pledged to cover costs. Were he to die in hospital without paying his fees, the hospital would claim the house and the children would be forced onto the streets. For someone who is already in contract with the hospital and whose accounts are not paid, then the general hospital detains the patient until the payments are honoured.

For those who have no money or nothing to pledge, the hospital doesn’t treat them. On one day when Albert visited Mathieu, he reported,

"Patient’s families who attend their patients are there outside, prepare there outside, sleep at the soil there, and enter from time to time in rooms to look at their patient. Some die because of the carelessness, others because they don't have anybody to attend them. The medical staff, as you know, is badly paid, and therefore little motivated to help patients with heart."

"Last time when I went to the general hospital to visit Mathieu, there were soldiers who were at the hospital surroundings to assure the security of the medical staff. The crowd had just stoned stones on the hospital. For reason, a woman died in front of the hospital, because one didn't come to help her. She was about to give birth with emergency. She had to pay for 20,000FC (US$50), she had 19,000FC but was missing 1,000FC (US$2.50, about $4 Australian) and one didn't want to make deliver her because of the lack of money. Some time after, she died in front of the hospital. So are the realities of the third world. The crowd got angry then and began to stone on the hospital, and the army was sent to put the security."

From my own meager pension I borrowed AUD$1270, enough to pay for Mathieu’s release from the general hospital. He took a taxi to Dr Tsumbu’s, clinic where he was cared for with love for the final few days of his life. By the time he reached Dr Tsumbu’s clinic, he was too sick to receive the Imusil treatment. He had developed meningitis, and a few days later, on Friday 2^nd/July/04, Mathieu passed away.

Compassion Response Network decided to commit to support Mathieu’s family for the next six months. It was a massive commitment, as we scarcely had enough money for the Imusil project, I had gone heavily into debt and there were no donations coming in. Through grace, one of our members felt compassion for Mathieu’s family and offered to pay US$600, that is US$100 a month for six months for the basic needs of Mathieu’s children.

The Kinshasa Compassion Response Centre

In mid-May, following the receipt by patients A and B of their Imusil injections, we agreed to try to initiate activity relating to the third pillar of Compassion Response Network program of action;

And so we invited the HIV patients A and B, together with patient D who had recently been invited to join the project, and the two consulting doctors Dr Tsumbu and Dr Karo, to a group meeting, chaired by Albert, and in which the HIV patients themselves would be invited to have a central role in the planning and implementation, not only of future treatments, but also in any other ideas and projects to help initiate and gradually develop a comprehensive compassion response to the AIDS pandemic.

Until that time, the HIV patients had been most concerned with their own personal problems and health needs. But at the first meeting on 29^th/May/04, through an article "I have a dream" (available in full in CRN circular No 16) written by secretary David Keane, the patients were invited to reflect about the ideas of service and group participation, so that the benefits they had received could in time be shared by the many.

It was amazing to us how quickly and wholeheartedly the patients responded to the ideas of sharing and goodwill service to help build a better world. They expressed themselves freely and shared about the difficulties in their lives, "lack of suitable medical cares, lack of subsistence means, marginalization sometimes of the society, and so on...." They willingly accepted responsibility to help form a seed group for the Kinshasa Compassion Response Centre. While expressing a willingness to serve, they also sent forth an S.O.S. from the heart appealing for support, for they are desperately poor and without resources.

It was agreed that meetings of the Kinshasa Compassion Response Centre would be held monthly on the 12^th day of each month. To begin with, it would be a closed meeting, involving the Imusil patients, the two doctors and Albert. Before the meeting everyone would share a meal and the doctors would provide a monthly medical check for the patients.

Albert would chair each meeting. In this he was well trained in sociocracy, a methodology for conducting meetings through which all present are given opportunity to participate creatively in the discussion and decision making process, and decisions are made according to a rule of reasoned argument. He would then prepare a report on each group meeting, which would be sent to the secretary David Keane who would in turn share these reports with all interested.

At the first meeting, the patients had expressed concern for all in their families and friends who are or may be HIV infected. The number came to over thirty. These thirty are in need of support, both in testing for HIV and in cheap effective treatment. In response, we are making inquiries for the provision of a simple and a cheap Eliza HIV-antibody testing kit and availability of cheap treatments firstly for the circle of family and friends. In the first reply, secretary David Keane wrote a letter confirming the need for CRN to support these family members, and help create a community where those who come can know with no shadow of doubt, that all family members of those who come must be supported and provided with opportunity to walk the path towards vibrant health and right community living.

The second group meeting in June was held in an atmosphere of joy and brotherhood, with their own illnesses now of lesser concern. They affirmed that provision of treatments for their family and friends constituted the next most urgent priority. They were inspired by the idea that the Kinshasa Compassion Response Centre would become a seed group through which as a group we would seek out the pathways to initiate a comprehensive compassion response to the AIDS pandemic. This would involve the HIV patients themselves openly sharing about their needs and dreams, and freely participating in planning, decision-making and facilitation matters for the Centre. It would involve also Albert keeping his ears and feelers open so to discern the slightest call of the heart from the patients. It would involve Albert writing monthly reports on the meetings, and my distributing them to all interested, and our group finding creative compassion responses according to our means. It would involve men and women of goodwill around the world being invited to participate in the response, however they are able.

In response to the second meeting, secretary David Keane sent a letter to the group describing the nature of the nine treatments being investigated by CRN. This was read at the third meeting in July. By that time patient D, Mathieu, had passed away leaving seven orphan children. We confirmed our support for these children, a boy and six girls.

The Shop Project

As the only boy in the family of seven children of the deceased AIDS patient Mathieu, Héritier now has the responsibility to earn a living for his family, as was his father’s wish. Albert expressed concern that if nothing was done for these children, they would soon become abandoned children, like so many others in similar situations, forced to live off the streets.

Héritier seems to Albert to be in good physical health. Albert pointed out two problems, first that the emotional desolation for this family was extreme and they now lack parental love and comfort and guidance. Secondly, at the age of about 15, Héritier could find small jobs like polishing shoes or distributing goods, but such jobs do not pay well, and good jobs are hard to find in Kinshasa.

Albert described the fate of street children that would most likely be forced upon these children if they did not receive support. "They are abandoned to themselves. They don't have anything to eat, they carry torn dresses, in shreds. To eat, they often rummage in trash cans. They don't have any domicile. They sleep on the floor, in streets. They manage the day somehow to live. No one takes care of them. They beg. Some NGOs try to help these street children, but such NGOs are few and the number of these children is increasing."

Mathieu’s children passed on a plea through Albert that "they count a lot on CRN to lift them from the hell where they are now."

Through our prayer sheet, I appealed for support for these children of US$100 a month for just six months. No longer than six months, so to avoid a situation of dependency. Even so, this is scarcely enough for a family of seven, yet it would provide them with a period of support in which they can plan with dignity how to manage their lives. This appeal has now received a positive response.

An invitation was sent to the boy, Héritier, to attend the July and subsequent meetings, representing the family of Mathieu. Héritier accepted the invitation. Perhaps the patient’s group could work out how best to respond in the medium term to help the Mathieu family, understanding that we will have limited funds for them. Albert and I could not think of a solution.

The July meeting began with the group welcoming Héritier. Albert shared my letter, including our work with the nine treatments for AIDS, at which all in the group marveled. For so long they had lived without hope for such treatments, and now we were discussing nine! They felt united in the thought that this goodwill work must expand and spread to all of Africa.

Then Héritier was invited to speak. He expressed appreciation for the support given to his family, but expressed also deep frustration at the prospects for himself and his sisters, with no future means of support (it was not until shortly after this meeting that a generous donor sponsored this family for US$100 a month for six months). The group knew that though CRN was strongly supportive, our means were often very limited because of the smallness of the public response.

Then the group discussed the situation, and came up with a creative idea so practical and simple that Albert marveled at its creativeness. When I read Albert’s report, I was overwhelmed that such ideas for goodwill service should emerge from those who just a few months earlier were living in such poverty, desperate ill-health and hopelessness.

The idea was patterned on what some other AIDS support groups were doing in order to provide, even in part, to their basic needs, while waiting for some more consistent support. Such groups would run a small restaurant or small shop or some other enterprise. Income from the enterprise helps support the group for their group and service needs. In this way, while waiting for more applicable support, the group life continues with a certain rhythm, and patients can find answers to some urgent needs: transports, a small support in food, in clothes, health concerns, some solution to some urgent particular problem. The enterprise would provide the means for auto-financing and thus avoid the problem of dependency through charitable support.

The group proposed that they run a little shop, and the young Héritier could find a job there as a shopkeeper, thus providing also for himself and his sisters. Such a project could be launched from an initial outlay of US$1600. The shop would not belong to Héritier himself, but rather to the Kinshasa Compassion Response Centre, and the whole group would audit the activity, make decisions for the running of the shop and receive a portion of the profits for group needs and service to the community. The shop would also become a point of contact for the public to discuss their problems and share in the community benefits disseminated through the Kinshasa Compassion Response Centre.

Once the outlay of US$1600 was provided, then US$100 would go towards the property lease, and US$1500 to stock the shop. The enterprise would expect to return about US$500 a month profit, which was proposed would be distributed in the following manner;

Developing a Pan-African Agenda for Action

The Mission Statement for Compassion Response Network is;

Our primary charitable activity of seeking to initiate a comprehensive compassion response to the AIDS pandemic must be applied universally. Our circulars are distributed broadly, inviting active participation to help, step by step, to manifest our vision.

In being true to the principles guiding our work, we must permit ourselves to become instruments for God’s Plan, which means responding wholeheartedly to support local projects such as the Kinshasa Imusil project and the Kinshasa Compassion Response Centre. Yet also it demands responsiveness to the call to support similar seed service groups in other parts of Africa.

We have received requests from about a dozen service groups in Africa to join our network and help activate service activity similar to what is now happening in Kinshasa. About six of these groups are led by particularly skilled and experienced goodwill workers, and they each have offered to plan, coordinate and facilitate a treatment and blood testing project for three advanced HIV/AIDS patients over six months. Each location would focus upon the testing of just the one alternative treatment for all three patients. In this way, if we succeed in planning, funding and actualising each of these local projects, then gradually over a few years we will be able to complete our medium term objective "for comparative treatment and blood-testing studies for nine alternative treatments for HIV/AIDS, initially testing three patients for each treatment."

These six service groups would be coordinated through;

Albert Mananga, in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo,
Bonaventure Onyejido, in Freetown, Sierra Leone,
Bernard Maunda, in Nairobi, Kenya,
Ricardo Naidoo in Port Elizabeth, South Africa,
Shadrack Kavalambi, in Dar es Salaam, in Tanzania,
Geraldene Cockcroft, in Harare, Zimbabwe.

In our next CRN circular, we will provide more extensive reports regarding these African goodwill workers. They offer their services for free, in response to the immense and urgent need within Africa. We cannot ignore their invocation for support. We have good email contact with each group, and have selected only those with exceptional qualifications and desire to serve and make sacrifices, though as yet we do not have the funds to sponsor their projects.

We have invited them into our Inner Planning Circle, and over the next six to twelve months, we will develop pan-African objectives, strategies and programs of action.

The Only Way Forward

There are many people who appreciate that there exist many safe, cheap and effective treatments for HIV/AIDS. The way to prove the effectiveness is through the courts, which in turn requires the gathering of medical scientific data using double-blind cross-over studies of many advanced cases of treatment with HIV/AIDS.

The past approach has been to initiate studies valued at millions of dollars. Yet over the past 20 years this approach has so far failed to get any results in courts, for two reasons. Firstly whenever sufficiently research and sponsorship has been provided, the results have somehow been sabotaged by vested interests, corruption and at times violence and intimidation. Secondly, claims of research by promoters of a single treatment are confronted with dis-information campaigns which confuse the public and charitable philanthropic organisations.

The only way forward is to awaken a public international movement for alternative treatments independent from any single treatment, with a program of action to conduct comparative assessment of alternative treatments for HIV/AIDS, involve the AIDS community especially in Africa directly in the planning, decision making and implementation of projects, and eventually come together in an international conference to agree on an international alternative treatments charter.

It is the overall agenda of Compassion Response Network to help build and mobilise such an alternative treatments movement. Having established our vision and mission statement from spiritual principles, we have commenced the massive task of conducting a comparative assessment program. Our funds have been limited and we are forced to work off a shoe-string budget, but nevertheless we have commenced the provision and testing of the first of nine proposed treatments, testing on just three advanced HIV/AIDS patients and publishing the results. We have now founded a Compassion Response Centre in Kinshasa, in which there is direct and enthusiastic participation by HIV/AIDS patients. Over the coming year we will be developing programs of action to develop half a dozen similar projects across Africa.

We place our trust in the working out of spiritual law, as in the following extract from Telepathy and the Etheric Vehicle, p57 by Alice Bailey, Lucis Trust Publications;

""When the invocative spirit is present, the results are inevitable and sure and the response evoked cannot be stopped. This is the basis of all the success of desire (material or otherwise), aspiration, prayer and meditation. Always we get --- in time and space --- what we invoke; and the knowledge of this fact, scientifically applied, will be one of the great liberating forces for humanity."

Over the past year, Compassion Response Network has become a channel for the invocative spirit of the African people to find a comprehensive compassion response to the AIDS pandemic. This side of the work has grown beyond our own expectations, and it will continue to grow for we remain committed to keep expanding our work of networking and facilitation. The Kinshasa Compassion Response Centre has sent forth an urgent S.O.S. to the world, and over the next year we will be mobilising half a dozen similar centres across Africa. The invocative call from Africa is intense and can clearly be heard by all who have an open heart.

Yet only through the united and positive goodwill response of men and women of goodwill around the world, will the "great liberating forces for humanity" be unleashed to eventually provide a comprehensive compassion response to the AIDS pandemic. And yet it has been precisely the response in affluent countries to our projects that has been so modest and inadequate compared with the massive scope of the global problem.

Compassion Response Network stands at a point of crisis because our funds have dried up. We now have only sufficient funds to conduct the pre-treatment tests for a patient E in the Kinshasa Imusil project. We do not yet have funds sufficient even to conduct the 4-monthly blood tests for viral load and immunity cell count for our patients A and B in September. In this circular, we have outlined the present need to continue our work at its present level. The amount needed over the next year in both our central office (largely for distribution of healing treatments to communities in Africa) and in Kinshasa comes to over US$3,000 (over AUD$4,500). A further US$1,600 would help initiate the shop project in Kinshasa.

Compassion Response Network is a charitable organisation. Our central role is to be a beacon to share about the need in Africa. We simply trust that our message will touch peoples’ hearts so that a sufficient response comes from men and women of goodwill around the world to continue our work.

A second equally vital need at this time is for secretarial support of goodwill servers in affluent countries. We now have an abundance of highly qualified goodwill servers in Africa, but as secretrary of CRN, I have the responsibility for most of the affluent country work to keep our organisation active. I am a disability pensioner on a modest pension and most of this I share to a dozen service groups and projects around the world. Some of these projects are a hidden aspect to keeping our work in Africa going. And yet over the past year, my health has failed, and I am not confident that I can serve as secretary of CRN for another year. Already the workload of CRN is sufficient for the full time employment of two people, and I do it voluntarily. And yet we trust in God that our work must expand, and so we are developing plans of action for half a dozen African cities.

Over the coming year there will be a sufficient amount of work to fully occupy half a dozen goodwill co-workers from affluent countries. So many tasks must remain undone unless we attract the needed goodwill co-workers from affluent countries. My own energy must be to preserve what we have already achieved. If I attempt to do other tasks, I know my health again will suffer.

We need people willing to focus upon the fund-raising aspect of CRN. This will involve approaching charitable and philanthropic organisations and celebrities. My own energy needs to focus upon supporting the work in Kinshasa; projects in other cities simply will not get off the ground unless others accept the secretarial duties associated with facilitating things from an affluent country perspective, one affluent country contact for each centre in Africa. We need people to engage in research, especially in South Africa, to provide people with cost comparisons between CRN projects and the present South African official approach to AIDS; it is the economic bottom line which must eventually convince funding organisations of the necessity to support our approach. And we need someone gifted in computers and running our website. Our CRN website has not been updated for 6 months because we have recently changed over to a Dreamweaver MZ 2004 version, and I need help to understand how to use it.

All goodwill service work in CRN is voluntary. We simply invite you to share in the work of service for humanity.

Yours in Love and Light,
David Keane,
Secretary of Compassion Response Network.
