I have returned. Been working, working after work. I work with the African Well Fund www.africanwellfund.org. we raise money to build water wells in africa. And since U2 is back touring in the states well we have a new campaign happening. That sounds interesting how did you get involved in that?? Sorry I just seen this, I am on the board of directors for the African Well Fund. We raise money to build water wells in Africa. Been doing it for 2 years with a bunch of people who happen to be u2 fans. Kind of got the idea from Bono when MTV was showing Diary's following Bono to Africa. Anyway he mentioned something about not having cleaning water and a water well can cost little as 1000.00 to build. So one fan on U2.com asked who would like to help out. 9 people besides myself decided to do it. We orignal set out to build 1 well our first year. We kind of ran a campaign for Bono's birthday. "What can you give Bono for his birthday? Fans started to donate left and right we raised our first year $10,000.00 USAD! Now some wells depending on the area cost more. Today since the time we started we raised over 100,000!! So this year is the U2 Tour worked perfect really. Campaign is calle "Were You Live Must Not Decide" its technically a line in a recent U2 song. We are basically raising awareness across the USA following the tour with flyers, etc. We are made up of Volunteers. And we have a good few. So thats basically what im doing. heres the link www.africanwellfund.orgwe work with www.africare.org who has all the water well projects and they do some great work.

Welcome back Elenir - hope your feeling better Thanks. Well, I'm not quite better. I'm always very tired and I don't know why. The iron in my blood is low, but shouldn't be that low and I'm taking stuff for my thyroid. And my mum says I don't snore. Perhaps an allergy against dust... I'm going to the doctor on Friday to get everything checked. IloveRogerT: Wow, that's really great what you're doing.

The iron in my blood is low, but shouldn't be that low and I'm taking stuff for my thyroid. Had exactly the same last year. Took some medicine for about 6 months and after that I was fine. Hope it works for you, too! Good luck!
