Friends of Engeye
Choose a Need • www.chooseaneed.org
"It is our belief that the barriers involved with foreign aid do not excuse us from a human, societal, or religious obligation to do something, no matter how small. We believe that what we CAN do is choose a specific need that we see, or someone else shows us, and then work to meet that need in some small way, financially or otherwise, through our knowledge or gifts. The goal of ChooseAneed is to help make those of us who can do something more aware of these specific needs, and then to help facilitate the meeting of those needs."
Just Cause • www.jcause.org
Just Cause is dedicated to addressing disparities within the realms of HIV/AIDS, refugee/immigrant empowerment, genocide survivorship and human rights.

Dr. Bob Paeglow • www.drbobcares.com
Dr. Bob Paeglow, founder of Koinonia Primary Care, journeyed with us when we opened the doors at the Engeye Health Clinic and brought along the experience that he'd gleaned from more than 30 trips to Uganda. He is one of the most generous, compassionate, and selfless people that we have met, and we continue to be inspired by all he accomplishes in Arbor Hill, NY. http://drbobcares.com
