    CNN Story: Children With Albinism in E. Africa & Thanks for Transferring Pledges!

    Dear friends,

    Here is a link to a recent CNN story on children with albinism in East Africa who have gone into hiding in response to the recent killings: http://edition.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/africa/11/29/tanzania.albinos/.

    We will meet these children and hear their stories when we go to Africa with Rick and Positive Exposure.

    Today is the last day we will have the Kickstarter platform. Since we didn't meet on our goal for this site, you will not be charged by Kickstarer. We want to thank you again for transferring your original pledges over to http://onbeauty.kartemquin.com. We apologize for the inconvenience.

    Thanks again for taking this extra step to make your donation and help us get to Africa to tell this important story.

    Joanna & Rick
