AllPeopleBeHappy Event in Boise:  On June23, 2010, we held our first ever information and fundraising event in Boise, ID, with 30+ attendees. After an overview of the Foundation’s work by staff, guest speaker Dr. Heather Hammerstedt, an emergency physician in Boise who co-founded the Global Emergency Care Collaborative, spoke about her recent trip to Uganda where AllPeopleBeHappy funds helped to support the work of building a new emergency department, and creating a sustainable training program to help overcome the countrywide shortage of physicians.  In addition, Lee Spangler of Bend, OR, who recently returned from a 4 month adventure volunteering at Amizade sites around the world, shared his amazing pictures, spoke about his experience volunteering with Amizade in Karagwe, Tanzania, and described the water harvesting project funded by AllPeopleBeHappy.

Special thanks to Kathy Supko and Margi and Neeraj Soni for arranging for the lovely Crane Creek Country Club venue, as well as donating the wine and hors d'oeuvres for all to enjoy.
