Two Critical Needs:
We have to urgent needs currently worth mentioning.

First, Lahash is looking for office space in the Portland area. We try to keep our overhead as low as possible, so if anyone knows of cheap or free office space that Lahash could use over the next year, please email info@lahash.net Thanks!

Second, Nick reports that the Little White Ambulance needs some critical upgrades once more. The shop has put the estimates at $250 for more brake, shock, engine, and body work. Again please email info@lahash.net if you'd like to be a part of that solution. Thanks!

Lyla Reports from Uganda
From an email this morning: "Just wanted to let you all know that the conference on Leprosy in Jinja was most productive and helpful. Unfortunately Susan Tabia wasn't able to join me as she ended up with a cold, but is now mostly recovered. I will be spending some time with her tomorrow and Saturday before I fly back home Saturday evening to arrive in PDX on Sunday pm.

If any of you saw the photo of Josh Thrash with the very tiny skinny girl with chicken pox from our visit to Susan's home in December, you will be happy to know that the little girl has gained a lot of weight already and is getting quite a personality with smiles for all. She got some new clothes, sandals, a hat, and sippy cups from the trunks I brought and she loved them very much. "
