We are deeply saddened to report that SHARE Board Member Lou Bassik has passed away on Tuesday, April 1, 2008.

Lou served as our beloved treasurer at SHARE and was an invaluable member of our Board of Directors. He was committed to our goal of helping Kenyan orphans who have less than nothing. His friendly attitude, enthusiastic demeanour, and his infectious laughter will be sorely missed.

In honor of his dedication to our cause, SHARE will plant a Neem tree on the shore of Lake Victoria in Kenya where it will provide shade for our orphans as they play.
