IN on the UG well idea.
Your a true inspiration man, I wanna do this kind of shit with Doctor's without borders or something once I'm tired on practicing medicine in US.
Just gotta pay off my loans and have steady living first but def it is something I am passionate about and will be doing in near future.
If you ever need a doctor up there in Congo, lemme know.
In addition to the Kickstarter and book pre-orders, here's another way the UG/OG can help support Justin's work...
http://www.deusfight.com/fftfgi
Here are the specs, for those of you who trane and may want to order one (or both!)
This is Official Fight For the Forgotten Gi
The purpose behind this Gi is to support the Fight For the Forgotten’s amazing Mission. The Pygmy’s of the Congo are a people who have suffered greatly with no voice. Your contributions make a difference.This unique one of a kind Gi available in two colors, WHITE AND BLUE.
– 450 GSM Pearl Weave
– Bottom: 10oz Rip Stop
– Liner: Lycra/Poly
– Rope: Stretchy Drawstring
The gi is $169, including gi bag, and is now available for pre-order over at http://www.deusfight.com/FFTFgi and is a limited edition. So order while they’re available!
When the opportunity came to design this gi for Deus, I was 1000% on board and have enjoyed every minute of it. I wanted to design a gi that not only reflected Justin’s love for the DRC (thus the red, yellow and blue of that nation’s flag became the overall color scheme of the design), but also one that communicated his heart for the Pygmy villagers whom he loves so much and who he promised to not let the world forget. Thus, the liner on the inside of the gi is an overhead view of one of the actual villages in the jungle where Justin lived, worked, and loved these beautiful people—where he was simply known as “Efeosa” (“The one who loves us”). And I overlaid an image of Justin’s and one of the villagers’ hands grasping one another, as a symbol of the cooperative approach FFTF takes in empowering, rather than simply giving charity to, the Pygmies so that they can enjoy the dignity and self-worth that is the right of all people created in God’s image. Lastly, if you look closely you will see dozens of names within image. These are the names of Justin’s Pygmy family and friends, including little Andibo who Justin buried with his own hands. I wanted to make sure that in some small way, they are NEVER “forgotten.”
The image in the above liner design is the actual "Tundu" (hole in the forest) that Justin was talking about on the podcasts this week, btw.

War wren! We're all pulling for you man
Awesone dude and a fantastic project.
For the first time i REALLY want to contribute to something like this, I hope we can get a UG well going.
I was so amazed I even listened to TFATK podcast with justin staight after I finished the JRE.
justinthevikingwren -You heard the man. We donate!!Rambo John J -All depends on the obstacles underground, how deep (how many materials and pipes we need) and how many days labor. $2,500 is the cheapest I'd say, $3,500 was our most expensive. So it normally falls from $2,800 maybe $3,000.stoopsy - Can we have our own UG water well?!
very sweet idea
how much would this cost Vikingman?
#OG PygmywellJustinwrentheman

You rock, man!
Approved.
Can we get a mod to build the kickstarter for the well so we know Justin gets the $.
IN IN IN !!!!!!!
Paging Rick Storm...
I love what he's doing over there but am I the only one concerned that he's doing a bunch of podcasts/interviews on fight week and will get beat?
stoopsy - Can we have our own UG water well?!That's a great idea would love to see this happen.
![Phone Post 3.0](/images/phone/apple.png)
100% down to contribute to the UG well. How can we make this shit happen?
WAR BIG PYGMY.
GS27 - I love what he's doing over there but am I the only one concerned that he's doing a bunch of podcasts/interviews on fight week and will get beat?
Whether he wins or loses...he's already won. He's raised more awareness and gotten more people to care about the Pygmies the last 5 days than in the previous 5 years combined.
But of course...WAT BIG PYGMY!!!
