thanks to everyone who has donated to this so far - we also have a sponsorship from The Vegan Society to cover the cost of the President of the Ghana vegsoc to go to Malaysia, but we still need more help to get Emmanuel there, please read on: IVU Africa needs your help again Next year will see the first ever world veg event to be held in Africa. This is mostly thanks to the work done by the IVU Africa Representative, Emmanuel Eyoh in Nigeria. He organised the first international African veg event in 2007, in Lagos, and has since promoted and supported several more in other Africa countries, such as Ghana, Togo and Kenya. But Emmanuel has never been able to go to any of the other IVU events around the world, simply because of the cost. We would really to help him go to the 41st IVU World Vegfest, in Malaysia, October 2013. So this is an appeal from IVU to help raise some funds for his travel and accommodation If we can do that then the Malaysian VegSoc have offered him free registration for the event. Everything at the 41st IVU World Vegfest will be completely vegan as always. This would be valuable experience to help Emmanuel continue his work in Africa - he is already working towards another regional event in Cameroon later this year, and some inspiration from elsewhere could make a big difference. If you can donate, even a small amount, please go to: ivu.org/africa/donations.html - where you can send money to IVU via paypal. All money raised through that page will be used in Africa. thank you for your support! Marly Winckler, Chair of the IVU International Council
