FYI. An update on one of the shows we run in our public affairs block.

Note that there's now a Spanish-language version of the show as well

> PUMPKIN POWER:   When Maryknoll priest Father Richard Bauer was  
> assigned as Executive Director of Catholic AIDS Action, the Church’s  
> outreach ministry in Namibia, he knew he’d need to assemble an “A”  
> team.  The 1st candidate on his list was MaryBeth Gallagher, whom  
> he’d met in his Maryknoll orientation class in 1996.  Rick wrote to  
> MaryBeth that he’d not only pay her airfare to Namibia but then to  
> anywhere she wanted to go if she were not convinced Namibia was  
> where she was needed most.  Bauer was right and his friend MaryBeth  
> had found her new home.  Her 1st year or so she struggled to make  
> games out of scrap cardboard for the hundreds of AIDS orphans and  
> vulnerable kids the CAA’s Bernard Nordcamp Center feeds and cares  
> for daily.  She had even tried to get a group of little girls  
> stirred-up over soccer but on a gravel playing field and without  
> uniforms or proper shoes.  But when MaryBeth returned to the U.S. to  
> encourage donations, a young American team donated shoes and their  
> bright orange uniforms and MaryBeth flew back toNamibia knowing “the
