A short note about our
Moringa Core of Volunteers. Moringa has enjoyed the help of at least
(11) eleven helpful volunteers from the date of our inception in 2008.
It would be wrong of us to not honor those that have served and
sought to help us over the past couple of years of our NGO's
existence. To all of you who have helped at one time or another we
thank you. Effective 2011, I've chosen to cull, this, our US
Volunteers page, down to our core group of truly "Active" volunteers
that serve Moringa not just in name but in action and deed today. To
be clear, Moringa USA truly is made up of just a total of (9) nine
people. These being (4) four Active Board Members and just (5)
five active and current volunteers. To our core group of
active - "Oar in the water" volunteers of Frank, Jody, Megan,
Martha, & Jeremy, God bless each of you for the work you do and for
sticking it out in a truly dedicated way to MoringaCommunity.Org We could not manage without you.
FRANK RUFF
Moringa's Certified Public Accountant
Frank
Ruff is a Certified Public Accountant from Florida who actively
assisted us in gaining our own 501-C3 non-profit status, which
enables supporters make tax deductible donations directly to Moringa Community. Frank’s
guidance has helped us immensely through this difficult and time
consuming process. We would be lost without Franks able and
effective help every step of the way.
Jody
Christianson
Moringa Bookkeeper and Donor Liaison
Jody of Bozeman Montana is Moringa's
bookkeeper volunteer effective January 2011. Jody and husband
Mike have been huge supporters of the Moringa Project since the very
beginning and this means the very
beginning. Jody and Mike were one of the first people to step
up to help Jeff and Linda Lohr fund Abu's travel to the USA at the
birth of this remarkable project even before the project
incorporated and actually became a living breathing entity.
Now in 2011 Jody has kicked her support up a remarkable number of
notches by taking over our books and actually fully relieving Jeff
Lohr (president, treasurer, webmaster) of this enormously time
consuming but quite necessary and detail oriented job. We
cannot thank Jody enough for this enormous act of kindness and true
spirit of volunteerism. Jody's selfless action here will
finally free Jeffry to more heavily focus on administering the
organization and finally freeing more time for making the long
overdue updates to this web site in addition to what Jeffry has
always done best, fundraising. Thanks Jody!
MEGAN
RIEFER
Press & Promotions Volunteer.
Megan is without a doubt among our most
valued current volunteers.
Megan does not just talk the talk, she walks the walk by producing
useful and truly helpful work product. Meagan's most
recent project, (among many other things) has been the development
of press kits we use to solicit help from corporate organizations
and foundations for funding and support. With a strong
marketing background, Meg is a highly valued addition to the Moringa
Core of Volunteers. Thanks for joining us Megan, and
more importantly, thanks for sticking with us!

JEREMY
LEJEUNE
IT Consultant & USA Office Computer Networking Systems Developer
Jeremy Lejeune has majorly assisted the Moringa USA Office computer
systems set up, repair, and establishment of our secure networking
for interoffice communications. Jeremy's effectiveness in this
role has been enormously valuable to the workings of our business
office, file and data transfer and record keeping. Jermey's
day job is systems manager and IT director of
River Crest Golf Club

in our Moringa USA office without his skilled help.
