If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; 
that is where they should be.  Now put foundations under.	
				   HENRY DAVID THOREAU

This initiative has been set up purely with the goodwill of men and women who have had the courage to share in my vision to not only help alcoholics and other drug addicts but also to show Kenyan youth that alcohol and other drugs are not so glamorous as they are made out to be, but are actually a fast-moving highway to hell!

The goinghomedotcom Trust intends to show them how fun-filled life actually is without alcohol and other drugs, to show the Kenyan youth that the choice is theirs - that if they want to use alcohol they should at least know what it does to them and the consequences which come with ones' choice to use.

But to do this effectively at this fledgling stage we still need these items listed below. We would be very grateful for your help in acquiring these items. If you feel you can help us in any way with these items or would like to make a cash gift to assist towards buying them please contact us at goinghomedotcom@yahoo.com

In 2001 when we first started out, this list was much longer than it is today. Thanks to numerous well-wishers, five years down the line we have managed to reduce it considerably and the work of "touching lives through inspiration" goes on.

LIST OF NEEDS

• UPS's at least 1KVa
• Projector for presentations and workshops
• Laptop Computer Multimedia (with CD-ROM, diskette drive)
• High speed Scanner
• 35 mm Digital Camera 5.0 megapixels and above
• Heavy Duty Colour Printer
• Heavy Duty Photocopying machine
• The goinghomedotcom Video Production Unit (VPU) has already made one highly acclaimed 40 minute production entitled "Nobody Kicks A Dead Dog" on alcoholism and how to get help for ones afflicted loved ones. But the cost of using rented equipment and editing suites was prohibitive and to this end the final price of the video on the market is higher than we would like it to be. This has reduced access to everybody who needs it and this continues to be a source of great concern. To this end the items below are to help us make our own productions which are also then subsidised and thus affordable by the common man as well as being able to donate copies to rehab centers and school clubs especially in the rural areas for their awareness programmes.N.B.: We however continue to offer Beta copies to T.V Stations free of charge and so far Citizen T.V has taken up the awareness challenge by airing this production in December 2002 and then due to public demand January 2003. The documentary was then aired in December 2004 on the national station KBC Channel 1 and on STV in February 2005 In 2006 the documentary continued its succesful run being aired four times in all including on SAYARE TV. This offer is in line with our goal of reaching as wide an audience as possible with this crucial message as well as The goinghomedotcom Trust's motto of "Touching Lives Through Inspiration"

• Any books or magazines describing hobbies
• Videos (PAL) whether new or used and especially if they have topics to do with alcohol dependency or drug abuse but also just general movies, Docu-dramas etc to circulate to the rehab centers for the relaxation of the clients. Some of these will also be placed in the goinghomedotcom Resource Center for use by members of the public
• Any literature dealing with alcohol dependency or drug abuse. (i.e. pamphlets, books, journals etc.) These will also be placed in the goinghomedotcom Resource Center for use by members of the public
