Grad Heather MacAulay Checks in

this is a portion of a recent note we faculty received. Another MSVU PR Grad works to make the world a better place.

Hello Mount Folks!

Heather MacAulay (BPR'87) here! After more than 20 years working in the field of mass communications,
I'm now working in the field of Renewable Energy, but combining the two
on several exciting community based projects.

The most pressing is a Canada-Cuba initiative which will double the meager amount of
electricity available to a small Cuban town.
Increasing the 4 hours of available electricity(if lucky)to 8
hours daily, will bring great improvements to hospital operations,
schools, businesses and households.

The vehicle we've decided to use in fund raising is part of the new
"directed charitable giving" wave. The site - *givemeaning.com* offers
a platform for smaller causes that don't have access to the fund raising
machine available to the larger charities. Additional details on the
project are available at
> http://www.givemeaning.com/donate/n-ggprofile.aspx?gg=835

Once we get the project off the ground, I will work with my husband's
production company, Water Street West Entertainment, to produce a video
documenting the challenges and accomplishments along the way. This
video will form part of an education module, showing other communities
how to replicate the project. I would emphasize however that the video
production side of this is totally separate and not financially tied to
the energy project.

... There are several aspects of
this initiative which may be applicable to alumni working throughout the
world. I hope that you might be able to help spread the word - individually or
professionally.
