Dear Ms. Mary Fanaro,

Im so glad to take this opportunity to tell you about how I felt after reading About OmniPeace.

I would like to thank you for bringing this wouderfull thought of saving lives of people. As you said it, your own live was in danger and you sacrifices it to come up with this organization that blessed not only you.. and sure will also bless your generation.

Let me Introduce myself first, My Name is Rossi Kabamba From D R Congo. I was born in Kinshasa which is the capital of D R Congo. I m 23 years old (Male). I have been in Canada for 8 years now. I have my high school diploma and going to Univesity of Ottawa next January to a Faculty of Law (Droit Civile). Beside, me and uncle own a lil beauty store. I myself go to new york city each year to buy and sell bargains. just lil about me...I always have this slogan in mind thats says" As long as death is that final reward that this humain body can give me, I will profit from the air that im breathing and a grace to see that sunshine each and every morning to save lives. because I know, its going to be a blessing.

Now I ask myself how am i going to do this? After browsing on your website I just saw my dream. having my own business and also to save lives and to assist women that has been raped for minning resources that we are all beficiary.

Let God keep blessing your thought so you can always reach your Goal.

Thanks,

Rossi Kabamba.

Its a long time and its nearly a year has gone when the fate made ours paths crossed and we'll not probably know other if the misunderstanding we have experienced did'nt occurend but I thank God in everything I detain the essential and my deep conviction is you've done a great action in our country and for my people if we can imagine what education can change; that's why I would like to express again my gratitude. many thanks once again and my congratulation to your engagement for a noble cause

About a year and a half ago my friend Sonja Wajih gave me an omni peace shirt.  It was ironic in the sense that I had started a PR company called omni pr and then later decided to stick to what I knew which was web design instead.  It was also ironic in the sense that I was born in Uganda and my mom is Rwandese, which she knew nothing of.  I've had a lot of shirts in my lifetime but there was something about this specific shirt that made me look closer at what God had put me here on Earth to do.  I always knew that I was here to serve a much larger purpose than what I had been doing.  After 8 months of being in limbo about what to do next with my life, all the signs started pointing toward Africa.  I intend to be in Uganda/Rwanda by January to get involved in the Agriculture industry to help my brothers and sisters become self sufficient.  Thank you for all your work and helping to shed some light on the dark continent.  

Peace & Prosperity, John

I'm involved with a few charities, but it was only today that I finally knew and recognized sincere passion for a cause. It's like what you were telling me during our talk about how we don't really know where the money actually goes for some of those organizations who don't have goals or true direction. 

Mary, you're an amazing courageous woman! And although it was very brief, I'm so happy to have been touched by your spirit. Believe it or not, I learned a great deal from you over the last 24 hours and I'm a better person because of it. I don't want to be corny or preachy, I just think it's important to recognize and appreciate someone who encourages or teaches you.

All of that being said. Please take my offer to heart. I am willing to donate my time to your organization and your cause.  I just want to be able to make an impact in the Congo where it is more than desperately needed!

Fund raiser? ;-)

Blessings,

Our names are Blake Krakower and Kara Fleet, we recently discovered your website and thought that it
would be a great idea to bring the awarness about this cause to high school students. We go to Wakefield High School in Raleigh, North Carolina, and we are both juniors. We wanted to spread the message about this to our school and surrounding schools in this area. We want to know how we can help and how we can possibly get people from your organization to help by coming to our school to speak to the students. We beleive that all high school students should be knowledgable about what goes on around the world, and not just in their community. thank you for reading this message and i hope you get back to us soon!!

Sincerely,
Blake and Kara

My silver OmniPeace bag that we all received at Angie Everhart's Baby Sprinkle has special meaning to me beyond being the coolest bag. My dear friend Courteney Cox first introduced me to OmniPeace years ago at the first OmniPeace Kitson event and I am just so impressed with her amazing personal visible involvement  as well as her friend and founder
Mary Fanaro's dedication and commitment to end extreme poverty by 2025. By purchasing a bag, or any OmniPeace product you can personally help give the poorest people in the world a chance to survive and help end poverty in sub Saharan Africa by 2025. What an amazing gift for us to receive and we are so blessed to spread the message!

My name is Oliver Benezra. I am 12 years old living in New York City. As a 12 year old boy, I am the age of a bar mitzvah. The rising issues of poverty is one that is immensely important to me, in fact, I am in association with Jeffery Sachs, I have met him a few times and I respect his goals and his work. I have been trying to find things to give out at my bar mitzvah that will give money to this certain cause. I came upon this website (my family an I are huge House fanatics) and I thought that it was a perfect way to do what I was trying to achieve. Out of curiousity, I how much would it be to purchase 50 t-shirts? I would love to donate to this incredible organization. I have much respect for what you are doing and the awareness that you are trying to spread.

Sincerely,
Oliver

My name is Taylor. I'm 15 years old. I first came across omni-peace.com when I was shopping at delia's. I saw the shirt and thought, wow that’s a cool design. After I read the tag on the shirt I new I wanted to help. I think that this is an amazing project and I want to help spread awareness to everyone I know. Is their something I could help with? Like having some type of fundraiser? I really want to help the cause and hope that you will allow me to. Thank you for making this world a better place!

On January 5, 2008, six cyclists left for Egypt to begin their Carbon Newutral Cairo to Cape Town Challenge in aid of Millennium Promise.

My name is Alcinda Brubaker. My dad, Wayne Tee, bought me a shirt today from this site. I was born in Mozambique, Africa. My real parents died during the war. I am adopted. I love that this site exists. I saw the article about it in CosmoGirl. I'd love to be a young model of the shirts or spokesperson so get teens interested. I am fifteen and I live in Virgina. Email me back.

Thanks,
Alcinda

My name is Casey Stanton I am currently a tenth grader at Harrison High School in Westchester New York. A few weeks ago I went to LA and found the OMNIPEACE shirts in Kitson and my mother and I bought so many since it went to such a truly amazing cause. I am extremely aware of what the situation in Darfur and other parts of Africa is in the current state of 2009, as I just finished a research paper on Humain Rights in Darfur. I am a member of a club at my school called Kids for World Health, where we essentially try to spread the news about current events in Africa, and what we can do as a community to help. Our school raised over $3,000 for Africa this year and I will do everything in my power to try to double that amount for next year. In the begining of the school year I had an amazing opportunity with Kids for World Health. Our school invited John Bal Dau, a lost boy of Sudan to come and speak at our school. He was only around eight years old when the Janjaweed military attacked his home and he and hundreds of thousands of other young boys aging from five to fifteen years old had to go on a thousand mile trek without their families, food or water. He had the opportunity to come to America when he was in his twenties and worked extremely hard at minimum wage jobs to send the money back to Africa. He then went on to graduate from High School and even attended Syracuse college in New York. John bal Dau is truly an amazing person and inspiration and I would HIGHLY recommend getting in touch with him. He currently built a clinic back in Africa in Duk County in Sudan. You can find all of this information about him, and his charity at www.johndaufoundation.org

Also, I am truly inspired as to what Courtney Cox and any others have done with omni peace. I want to know what I can do to help. Whether it be starting a club at school, or having fundraisers. I will really do anything to help, and omnipeace is such an amazing program I would love to be apart of.

Thank you so much for your time, I really appreciate everything you are doing to help Africa.

Sincerely,
Casey

Right now I am supposed to be on Monster, and Craigslist looking for a job, but instead I am so excited that I finally found the website! I graduated from Louisiana State University on May 16 2008, about a month ago. A few days before that I went to look for an outfit for graduation day, and just like any other female living in the states I began to window shop. I window shop because college did drain all my money. Well I walked in front of this store called Purple Rocks in Baton Rouge, and stopped in my tracks. I saw the huge black purse with the wonderful Omni peace symbol. I was smitten, and my friend knew it. She walked in with my, and I paid the 65 dollars, and my friend said that would be my graduation gift once she got paid. That was a month ago, I am now in New York, and the bag has not left my side. I just wanted to let you guys know about the amazing reaction that I get from people in Louisiana, and New York. Strangers in this city that are normally not speaking t o people come up and ask me, where I got the bag, and what the symbol means. I have been able to inform them the meaning and encouraged them to surf the web for the site. Now that I have found it I can give them the exact location.

Like I said, I am now living in the big New York City. On the website I saw that this non profit is based out of California. I want to know if there is an office in New york? Or if there is a way to get one over here? I think that New York is such a great, lively, and diverse city, and the message of the great things this company is doing would spread if there was a store around here. Also, speaking of spreading the word...I am still in the college mindset I wont lie. I also wanted to know if there is any sort of nationwide college campaign? College students are not only very impressionable but very influential. Anything placed in the hands of a college mind can and will most definitely grow. I know I am probably rambling about things that you at Omnipeace are already doing, but I just wanted to share some things that came to my mind over the past month that I have had the bag. I am still very much unemployed, and so If there is any assistance needed with Omnipeace please let me know and I can email a Resume over to you.

Sincerely,
Akua

My name is Jamie Misotti. I am a 20 year old about to finish my sophomore year at Roanoke College in Southern Virginia. My major is Interntational Relations with a concentration in African and the African Dispora. I am extremely interested in helping African children and to help end poverty there. Your company's cause is something that greatly interests me. I was wondering if there were any opportunities to possibly travel to Africa with your company sometime this summer between May and the middle of August. I want to start helping these people as soon as I can, and my school is not offering any trips to Africa right now. Anything I can do to help these people, I will. But I want to experience their hardships straight on by visiting and helping to educate them. If there are any opportunities, please let me know.

Thank You,
Jamie

My name is Jesse and I have just recently gotten my South African work papers! I was recently furloughed (which is similar to being laid off) from Delta Express airlines and could not find much work in the United States as an airline pilot... I am extremely in debit from getting my college degree, but I took my free time to get to africa and experice what I could... the experience truely made me fall in love with africa!!! My next goal was to find a way to live, work, and help this amazing place! My best friend and I have found a way to fly within Africa and deliver goods to tribes and other areas of need while also working for a company that carries people around the savannah areas... I am trying to purchase a large order of OmniAfrica shirts for the people I am working with and for my family... I was really focused on your company because I saw that some of the money would go towards african releaf... If you could give me any help, I would love to bring an order to Africa with me for areas I fly into!!! I would be willing to pay for some out of my pocket, but I am still really in debt from college and kind of going there broke, but as I said, I will give as much money towards the OmniAfrica cauuse as I can if it helps what I am working towards!!! :-) I hope to talk to you soon!

Sincerely
Jesse

My name is Chris Rodriguez. I am an avid supporter of your cause. I do my best to bring awareness to your cause to as many people as I can that I know. I currently own one shirt myself and purchased another for my girlfriend. I am such a supporter that I plan on getting a tattoo of your emblem on my leg. I e-mail you to ask two questions. Firstly, I would like to assure that having your emblem tattooed on my leg is legal and OK. Secondly, I work in a school and so I am unable to wear shorts to show the tattoo to help support the cause and bring awareness of it to people around me as much as I would like. I was hoping that if at all possible you could help me promote your cause by extending to me another shirt, so I can show my support more openly more often at my school. In addition, if you have a flyer or something I could give to people who ask me about what Omni-Peace is all about. Thank you in advance for your response. And also, thank you for all you do to help achieve awareness and ending poverty in Africa.
