Helping the Friends of Uganda

Please help and forward to your friends and family!

Friends Serving Uganda (FSU) has been nominated as one of the charities in the MiPro Gives Back campaign. MiPro Consulting is awarding $10,000 to the charity that gets the most votes on their website from now until April 6.

They require your name and email to place a vote. MiPro is a reputable company and will not sell your info, but you may receive their newsletter and have to use the “unsubscribe” option. They require title and company, but I just entered “none” and it was accepted. Rules state only one vote per person.

You will have to click on the alphabet to find Friends Serving Uganda.
