Building Tomorrow
Building Tomorrow, an international non-profit for education, is once again putting on its annual Bike to Uganda event on the lawn. Last year over 600 students, professors, children, and community members biked the 7354 miles from here to Uganda, raising over $12,000 dollars. After the incredible success of last year's event, we have set our goals high: with $40,000 dollars, our engineering and architecture teams can build not one, but two schools for children in Uganda! We need your help! We are looking for local businesses and community members to sponsor a bike for any amount over $1,000. Help us Bike to Uganda and provide an education for over 650 students! For more details - please contact maggie@virginia.edu.

Building Goodness
The Building Goodness Foundation is building a community center in Pearlington, Mississippi. This Gulf Coast town lost nearly everything in Hurricane Katrina. Local volunteers from the building trades, general public and University of Virginia are contributing hundreds of hours to build this important community structure. The Building Goodness Foundation began its relationship with the Pearlington residents just after the hurricane when we traveled down to build shelters. Now, we are continuing our longterm commitment to the town by building a 6000 sq ft community center. Constructing this community center is proving to be a unifying force here in Charlottesville. We send trips down every other week and expect completion of the center to be fall of 2008. The center was designed by the local architecture firm VMDO and is being supervise by the local contractor, Martin Horn, Inc.
