Thanks to George Esunge from Global Voices

Friends of Bright Fuh Committee say thank you to reporter George Esunge from Global Voices for the report on Bright Fuh. We thank you for helping to draw attention to the needs of Bright and calling for donors to support Bright. In our efforts to help Bright, we have established a Yahoogroup where all friends of Bright Fuh are welcome to share ideas and get feedback on what the Committee is doing as advocates for Bright Fuh, the 4 year old Cameroonian child diagnosed with Retino Blastoma.
To join the group simply send an email to friendsofbrightfuh-subscribe@yahoogroups.com and you will be added to the group. For all those who make donations to the Bright Fuh Trust Fund via paypal or directly to the Bright Fuh Fund with Wachovia Bank, we automatically add your email to the Bright Fuh Yahoogroup because we understand by your actions that you are a true friend of Bright. We encourage everyone to join this group because it is our global initiative to help Bright, connecting friends from different parts of the world in support of Bright.
In the next few days, this blog will also carry the names of all friends of Bright Fuh who have donated to the Trust Fund. We also understand that given the modern day scamming activities conducted thru the internet, it is difficult for people to trust initiatives like these but believe me this is not a scam, we are real people concerned about helping a real child who is diagnosed with a life threatening cancer.

Once again thanks to George Esunge from Global Voices, writing from Senegal, please continue the good work you are doing to shed light on Bright's situation.

Dear Bright Fuh Supporters,

Thanks for the kind words which by extension are for Global Voices online.

Speaking of Global Voices, there is a link to that story from a reader, who says :

"There is a global charity with established clinical programs for the treatment of late stage Retinoblastoma. The flagship program is based in the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto (Canada) and I believe there is significant twinning with fledgling program in Kenya. For more information, please visit the following website: http://www.daisyseyecancerfund.org/"

Hi:

In our (Global Voices) spanish translation of the post about Fuh Bright, someone fom Venezuela posted a comment in spanish offering help and the mobilization of an officer from the venezuelan embassy at Equatorial Guinea to Yaoundé. They also seem to need the contacts of the doctor in charge.

Would members of Bright Fuh Supporters have an answer to this person.
