Lizzie In India

Not too long ago my boss talked to me about potentially going to India this summer for work - and of course, I was intrigued…..and said “why yes, of course I’d like to go.” He set a pretty aggressive fundraising goal for us, which we hit….

And this isn’t a fundraising letter (FYI), though if you CHOOSE to do something, I am of course appreciative.

Through our 2009 campaign we are attempting to raise one million dollars for three school projects in India - for a number of purposes (sponsorship, building projects, sustainable income generation projects). I’ll be going to do primarily photography - of children, schools, the projects. Talk about a dream come true!
Just this week we received notification from one of our major donors that they have set up a matching gift of $25,000 for The Slumschool Project - the only caveat is that they have to be new donors, donors who haven’t given in a couple of years, or donors who give a larger gift than one they gave in the past two years….so it’s a big challenge, but one we will work hard to meet.

If you are at all interested in giving in any amount - $10, $25, and on up (we love up), please…give. These children have nothing….and we hope to give them hope.

If you want to be kept up on what’s going on while I’m there, or want specific prayer requests we have, please let me know.

There will be many pictures later - so stay tuned!

Thank you!
