Hi,
I am pleased to share with you my plans to volunteer abroad through Volunteers For Peace. I hope to depart the US on 06/28/2008 to begin my assignment in Kenya.
The goal of my assignment is to work with children in Kenya. Most of these children have been orphaned due to HIV/AIDS and others are disabled. They live in extreme poverty, in some areas not even running water and electricity are available. I am offering my time and energy to work toward improving the lives of those I would be serving. I have the motivation to go, and my life currently affords me the time, but I lack the funds. Any donation you can make to help is very appreciated..
In order for me to be able to afford to take on this project, I'm seeking to raise enough funds from my family, friends and colleagues to qualify for a matching grant through a new program called Volunteers for Prosperity Service Incentive Program or "VFPServ". Co-sponsored by the Office of Volunteers for Prosperity at the US Agency for International Development, in cooperation with the USA Freedom Corps at the White House, and GlobalGiving Foundation, this program can provide me with a grant of $7,500.00 if I can raise at least that amount from supporters like you.
Your generous donation - in whatever amount - will go toward covering my travel, local living, immunizations, and project related costs the total of which is estimated to be $8,600.00.
To make it easy for you to donate, GlobalGiving Foundation has developed for me an online giving platform that will enable you to securely contribute and also receive a tax receipt for your generous donation. The same platform will allow me to keep you informed of my efforts up to, during, and immediately following my volunteer assignment.
I welcome your support - and encouragement - as I seek to help improve the lives of others in our world!
Sincerely,
Annie Knight
