Did you know that you can support Friends of Guinea with each purchase on Amazon.com? We get up to 5% of your purchase price in commission, even though it doesn't affect the cost of the item(s) you buy. We are hoping to continue our humanitarian effort in Guinea and this is an easy (and free!) way to help us get the funds to do so. But you have to do so either by clicking here or via the Amazon link on our home page.
