Your Turn To Help!


OK, Friends...now it's your turn.

You have been hearing us for months talk about our project, our trips to South Africa and El Salvador. You have seen the pictures, read the blog, maybe attended a fundraiser or two. Now, we need a few minutes of your time.

Since you are already sitting in front of a computer, this should be a relatively easy way to help, but could turn into a huge boost for our campaign to build new school buildings in Coffee Bay.

We have applied for funding from a charity program sponsored by American Express. So has a hundred other groups. Over the next few weeks, there is an online nomination process. If we are nominated into the top 25, we will then be able to make a presentation to become one of the 5 projects to get funding.

Here is what we need from you:

Nominate us yourself by following these quick steps:

1- Go to www.membersproject.com/project/view/N34DIQ
2-click on "nominate this project" located under the school photo
3-a box will appear click on "sign up as guest member" in blue at bottom of pop up box
4-fill out Name, email address, create password and fill in security code then click on "sign in"
5- You are signed in and ready to vote go to www.membersproject.com/project/view/N34DIQ
6-click on "Nominate this project" YOUR VOTE IS CAST
Project Name is "Schools for an education system in crisis"
www.focalpointaid.org

You do not have to be a member to nominate us, but you will have to sign-in as a guest. The process will only take a few minutes but will help us us in a large way.

Thank you very much!
