I happened to walk up the alley today and saw your website on the rear window of your vehicle. I went to your website and saw the very noble effort you are undertaking. I will not hesitate to make my donation now. My suggestion is to get your website on your sign so people would become familiar with your cause.

It's wonderful to learn about Assa. I know I've said it before - but since it must be very cold up on that roof and harder and harder to stay warm and encouraged, I think it deserves saying again - you are really wonderful for what you are doing!!! Thank you - and please accept this virtual hug!! Lisa Herb Alliance for International Women's Rights New York Carol,

Carol, you were a great instrument in teaching Assa to discover her idea, and she was ready. You were there at the right time in her life, and have been there with Hèrè jè Center. What sticks with me reading this is something fitting no matter where we are in the world, fitting of all humans: the cycle of "getting attention" and "Giving attention". All need attention, helps them shine, feel good inside. And you gave Assa and others, and since then, the attention they were then and are now worthy of. "Giving attention to" is a way one acts out or carries out ones own values. And it is perfectly fitting that there be a cycle of attention to help -- and with that, help each human to shine. Thanks for sharing. Diana Bless Assa, Bless Hèrè jè Center, Bless Kaaba
