Greetings CURE Community!

For those of you who are on Facebook (and given that there are over 500 million people on Facebook, that’s probably a good many of you), I wanted to take a moment to highlight one of the important features on the new CURE.org – the ability to sign into CURE.org through your Facebook account. Here’s how it works.

You can login to CURE.org through your Facebook account

How do I login?

On any page on CURE.org, you can click on banner at the top of the page (see the graphic above) to bring up a login box. (see the graphic below).

Login to CURE.org through your Facebook account

From there, you can click on the Facebook button and a popup will appear from Facebook, asking you to login. Once you enter your Facebook username and password and click “Login”, the page will reload and you’ll see a new set of links at the top of the page.

Congratulations! You’ve logged into CURE.org using your Facebook account. Don’t you feel so “tech-savvy”?

So what?

Now, for the most important question: why should you login to CURE.org. Here’s a list of important reasons.

  • Signing in with your Facebook account makes it easier to Recommend a page on CURE.org to your friends and family through Facebook
  • Signing in makes it easier for you to comment on the CURE Blog
  • And… all the great features and programs we have planned for this year require that you login to CURE.org. So if sharing content online isn’t of interest to you, just wait. More great opportunities are on their way!

Hopefully that was informative and helpful. If you have a question or comment, I’d love to hear back from you in the comment form below or click “Email Joel Now” to send me a message directly.

God bless and have a good weekend!

CURE Uganda Hosts the Affero Project

Affero Project
CURE Uganda was pleased to host members of the Affero Project recently in Mbale. Lucas Parry and others from the Affero Project met with Derek Johnson and the entire staff of CURE Uganda to collect stories and video of the work we are doing to report back to their community. Derek blogged last week about their visit, and our friends at the Affero Project confirmed that the trip was a success with everyone arriving home safely. As Rob Harvey, one of the founders of the Affero Project, wrote:

They witnessed young mothers perched everywhere, cradling frail babies with painfully swollen heads. They saw firsthand the expert care being given to these children and the caring counseling for their mothers. What amazing work!

You can read the entire post on the Affero Project blog here.
