CONNECTING CLIENTS, FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND OTHERS
An irregular and quirky compendium of links and newsbits for clients and other friends. Usually, there's a theme, such as "Living Wills". And even summer leftovers.

This is another one of them pesky Doing Good issues.

ADOPT-A-RAT TO CLEAR THE COUNTRYSIDE

Adopt a rat? Something you've always meant to do, right? Now's your chance. In Mozambique, African pouched rats are being trained to sniff out landmines left over from that country's civil war. Known for their extremely keen sense of smell, these rats are also light enough to avoid setting off the mines. Cheaper than dogs to train and maintain, they're survivors, too.

€5 per month it all it costs to put your own rat to work.

FINALLY, A BOON FROM BAGPIPES

Johnny Bagpipes must be heard to be believed. The theme from Star Wars? AC/DC? The Lion Sleeps Tonight? Now's your chance. Crank up the speakers! Play Johnny's demo. http://johnnybagpipes.com/video/videos.html The Langford comic has used the stage over the last five years to work with his spouse Marianne in funding and building a rural school in South Africa. They're onto their next preschool project, this time in Kwa Zulu Natal -- and could use your help. http://www.africanpreschools.org/

AND EVEN MORE HAVING FUN DOING GOOD

Welcome to Q3network.ca, a Canadian video magazine about making the most of life from 50 to 75. If you're on the threshold of "retirement", this may be your portal to ideas for an active retirement. It's not about money. It is about what to do with your free time. Ever considered teaching English in the rainforests of Peru? or the Canadian far north? Now's your chance. This site, from Manitoba, offers a whole slough of talking heads, all touting the joys of voluntourism -- with links to the appropriate sites for detailed information. http://q3network.ca/
