FROM BURUNDI:
(from a letter to UUA President William Sinkford)
I have a honored privilege to greet you from Africa and from Burundi. I am the president of the Assemblée des Chrétiens Unitariens du Burundi, ACUB, which is the Unitarian organization in Burundi beside the ones in South Africa and Nigeria.

We are a unitarian group which is faithful to our christian roots. We meet 2 twice a month and use scriptiral, philosophical ( I have done Philosophy at University myself) texts and all other interesting wisdoms during our celebrations or service.

For almost a year now, we have been blessed to have a worship place thanks to The Blackpool Unitarian Chuch in Great Britain which supported us in getting some funds to rent the place.

Having an important place of worship is a big deal for us because we are in a stage of visibility and witness, our own way of telling the UU story. We run now a project in favour of HIV/AIDS people and this is a way to get our humanitarian side known.

We are then requesting from you, Rev. President, a support for some months to rent our worship place which is at the same time our office and meeting place. We are not telling you how much we need because all kind of support would be helpful for us and we depend on your kindness.

We are looking forward to hearing from you soon,
Ndagijimana Fulgence, President ACUB.

Estonia:
Looking for other Estonian Unitarians who might be interested in translating Unitarian/Universalist materials into Estonian.
Anita Susi (an Estonian American) writes, "When I visited my cousins in Eesti I tried to explain Unitarianism to them but they really did not understand it. ...It seems to me that many Estonians, being so skeptical and for the most part quite pagan in their world view, would be interested in learning more about it. It is a mo~istlik (sensible faith that I think would appeal to them. I was hoping to post translations on an existing web site or create a new one for Estos with links to the UUA."
