DVDs for the Peace Corps
in Namibia, Africa
Recreational opportunities in Namibia, like all else, are scarce. There is no TV. Peace Corps volunteers rely mainly on DVDs, always in short supply. An exchange of E-mails determined that the volunteers in Africa would welcome DVDs from Columbia, and they would not only be used for recreational purposes, but to enrich the school curriculum where suitable and to reward students for special achievement. Jerry Breger initiated a project proposal for Beth Shalom Synagogue, to provide DVDs for the Peace Corps volunteers by contributions. The proposal was approved and the project is now underway. Please put your DVD (new or used) contributions that you wish to contribute, in the box in the foyer by the office. The highest order of charity -- the greatest mitzvah -- is to give to those in need we do not know.
