COLONEL JOHN
 BLASHFORD-SNELL


President of the Just a Drop organization

 

In 1968 Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia invited the British Army to send a team to explore and make the first descent of the infamous Blue Nile. Captain John Blashford-Snell of the Royal Engineers was commissioned to select, train and lead the 60 person party. The success of this immense expedition led to even tougher assignments, such as the first vehicle crossing of the complete Darien Gap (Central America) in 1971/2 and in 1974/5, navigating almost all the 2,700 miles of the great Zaire (now Congo) River.
Having organized and led over 100 expeditions, Blashford-Snell has built up a reputation as a practical field engineer and become one of the world's most renowned and highly respect explorers. His innovative method of negotiating white water in inflatable boats has been adopted as a worldwide sport. Today he supports numerous charities and divides his life between the concrete and green jungles.

Just a Drop charitable organization

Just a Drop raises money to build wells, install hand pumps and carry out health and sanitation programmes to give children and their families clean, accessible water.
This means children are well enough to trek long distances to collect water or to go to school, mothers don't have to stay at home to look after them and fathers are healthy enough to work. The cycle of sickness and poverty is broken and the future is immediately brighter.
Just a Drop also supports water, sanitation and health projects around the world and helps in disaster relief efforts when the most basic human need is clean water. For example:
In Cambodia, JP built 50 new wells in nine villages, restored five other wells and launched a community health programme.
In North East India, we helped the isolated village of Riangmaw by providing a new water system to pump water 60m up a slope.
In Afghanistan, JP worked in partnership with the Scientific Exploration Society to provide the Khanabad Emergency Obstetric Clinic with fresh clean water. For 2008, Just a Drop is looking into projects in Bolivia, Uganda, the Philippines, Niger and Ecuador to name a few.

 

It's a great luxury in life to be able
to drink clean water from a tap.
                ~ Colonel Blashford-Snell

JOSEPH WHITE

Chief Executive Officer
for the St. Louis Area Chapter of

For the past six years, Joe White has served as CEO for the St. Louis Area Chapter of the American Red Cross, the 15th largest Chapter in the country. During a one-year period, the St. Louis Chapter reaches the public more than 480,000 times and responds to over 1,100 single family fires. The Chapter is also a leading provider of CPR/First Aid training, Aquatics instruction, Lifeline services, SAF (Services to Armed Forces) and International Services. The Chapter recently achieved the rating of high Level III, the highest level attainable for disaster response within the Red Cross System. In June 2007, Joe was appointed a member of the44Senior Advisory Council to the Department of Homeland Security and also serves on the Council’s Essential Technologies Task Force as well as the Administration Transition Task Force.

Since its founding in 1881 by visionary leader Clara Barton, the American Red Cross has been the nation's premier emergency response organization. As part of a worldwide movement that offers neutral humanitarian care to the victims of war, the American Red Cross distinguishes itself by also aiding victims of devastating natural disasters. Over the years, the organization has expanded its services, always with the aim of preventing and relieving suffering.
Today, in addition to domestic disaster relief, the American Red Cross offers compassionate services in five other areas: community services that help the needy; support and comfort for military members and their families; the collection, processing and distribution of lifesaving blood and blood products; educational programs that promote health and safety; and international relief and development programs.
The American Red Cross is where people mobilize to help their neighbors—across the street, across the country, and across the world—in emergencies. Each year, in communities large and small, victims of some 70,000 disasters turn to neighbors familiar and new—the more than half a million volunteers and 35,000 employees of the Red Cross.

It was a delight to meet Hilu and
it was a ball modeling her latest styles for the ATA

we danced to another great African band.

Dancing in Africa is like breathing air.

It comes naturally and you do it everyday.
