The “PRIVY DRIVE”  will be held Sunday, December 21st, 2008.   The Fundraiser will be held at Christine’s Cuisine which is located at 729 E. 9 Mile Road in Ferndale, MI.  On December 23rd, 2008, our founder Brenda Gonzales will return to the village of Vukuzenzele, South Africa, where she was invited to help with their water and sanitation needs; OCCE agreed to adopt the village and seek project partners.  In January, a group of students in the Engineers Without Borders (EWB) program joined her to assess the situation. We are raising money to help with fieldwork, ground transportation, and lodging for the OCCE-EWB teams. Although we are living in tough economic times, we believe that many in our community will remember that the world-wide recession is especially hard on the developing world, and therefore our action is even more urgent. Thanks for all the support.
