Tal and Terence
This holiday season, Tal and Terence (or “T&T” as so many of their
friends and family call them) are headed to Maputo, Mozambique with
the lofty goal of bringing 15 Solar Ovens to the community there.
To do this, T&T have teamed up with AMF and The Apron Project for a
charity event to raise money for the purchase of the Solar Ovens. They
will use all proceeds from the event to help purchase and ship ovens
to Mozambique where they will hand deliver them to the women of
Maputo, many of whom are helping to raise some of Mozambique’s 1.5
million children orphaned by the AIDS epidemic. T&T will also present
the women with microloans to help kick start entrepreneurial endeavors
utilizing these unique ovens.
T&T fell in love with the people of East Africa during their honeymoon
to Tanzania and Zanzibar in June 2010. As habitual travellers, they
couldn’t wait to get back to Africa. And as lovers of food and firm
believers in the importance of small business to developing nations,
they were immediately drawn to the Apron Project. Their work with AMF
is a welcome distraction from their day jobs. Both T&T work in the
television industry — Tal in Sony Television’s comedy department, and
Terence in drama development for Fox.
In the spirit of Thanksgiving this year, T&T hope you will help them
give the women of Maputo something to be thankful for. If you would
like to buy an oven or contribute in any other way, they would be very
grateful.
