Guerrilla Aid

Sidelined...

Just to let all of you know - nearly two weeks ago Barton was coming down a mountain in Uganda on his motorcycle when he was in a head on collision with a landrover. He was left by the side of the road with a broken femur that had pierced through the back of his thigh, a gash that cut through his shin muscle, all bones broken in his left arm, a broken right shoulder, a destroyed left knee, and head injuries. After being unconscious for who knows how long, he was loaded into the back of a Toyota Corolla by a good samaritan and driven for over two hours to a clinic on a bumpy dirt road.

Four hospitals later, with three surgeries down and a bunch more to go, he is alive... It looks as is there will be no permanent damage, but it's going to be a long road ahead.

We're working on getting him home, but he wanted me to convey to you all that the project for the Batwa will be going on as planned, and that he has given your donations to Anthony and others in Kabale to complete the work.

He'll provide an update here with more details as soon as he is able, and wanted to thank you for your thoughts, prayers, and well wishes.

Sincerely,

Sandra Campos

I have personally contributed to their projects, and CAA chose Global Colors to launch our volunteer program in South Africa and Mozambique.

I believe the work they do in the U.S. and around the world is commendable, and I strongly endorse the support of Global Colors.
