Comments for Project Selma http://projectselma.org Improving maternity care in rural Morocco Sun, 05 Jul 2009 21:56:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ Comment on Inspiration by Andy Bell http://projectselma.org/2009/04/25/inspiration/#comment-35 Sun, 05 Jul 2009 21:56:22 +0000 http://projectselma.org/?p=118#comment-35 hey Alix
Thanks for the message. You are absolutely right: we are having good days and bad days. (When I first heard that expression I thought it sounded too self-evident to mean anything. As we go through the grieving process, the more it seems like that is pretty much all you can say with about it.)
Definitely, feel free to mention Project Selma in a Red Cross blog post. That said, there should be much more to talk about in a month or two – maybe it is better to wait till then?
We would be keen to take you up on your offer of editorial guidance. Again, that might be better in a month or two. As we are moving to the next phase, we will need to think much more about the copy.
Speak soon,
andy

how is it all going and how are you both doing? I’m imagining from my own experience of bereavement that you’re having good days and very bad days.
I’m sorry I haven’t made a donation yet to Project Selma but I will do this week.
Also, I would like to talk about Project Selma in a future blog post for the Red Cross which might generate interest in/donations to your charity. Would you be ok with that?
Lastly I’m thinking of you and here to offer any editorial help/guidance you may need (although the site so far looks brilliant).
Much love
Alix xx

I have been working for MSF (Médecins sans Frontières) since 2007 in Chad, Burma & now Liberia, so can hopefully share some of what I’ve learnt about providing safe, reliable healthcare in low-resource settings. At the moment I am the coordinator for an emergency obstetric & paediatric hospital in Monrovia. Every day we have tragedies here, but every day we also save many lives. Please email me with specific questions regarding Project Selma, I have an incredible staff here with a wealth of information so we can surely be useful to you. Thinking of you both, cousin Emily x

I’m going to contribute – I hope this helps to keep things moving forward.

http://litliberation.org/
This aimed to mobilise the technorati to use their influence to fun reading projects.
They had specific targets to aim for (i.e. 10K for a library).
Aim to create a scalable fundraising model that would grow and grow.
Raised a huge amount of money in just 30 days.

This is the international charity they linked up with that focuses on education and literacy.

Vous êtes des gens très très courageux, généreux, malgré la triste histoire qui vous touche en ce moment.
Selma, notre petite ange est fière de ses parents.
Je serai heureuse de contribuer a ce projet. Le Maroc est notre pays même si on n y vit pas, aider les gens de la bas serait une bonne chose.
J admire votre courage et votre motivation. Selma restera ma petite nièce que j oublierai jamais
Allah ihfadkoum ya habaybi

Yay, well done!!

You are both fabulous.

I know that with you two behind it, Project Selma is going to make a massive difference to expectant mums in Morocco.

Passion is the key to success and you have that in bucketfuls, plus the entrepreneurial flair to make it happen.

What a brilliant thing to do.

Look forward to helping you spread the word!

Love, Jemima x

Andy and Ghizlane are those special people.

This is an amazing project and I look forward to seeing it grow in Selma’s legacy.
