Send Orphaned Teens from Kenya to High School #6163

For each $1000 raised, FAF will throw a pie in my face!

            300 children live at the Good Samaritan Home

where 120 orphaned teenagers are enrolled in high school

 at $1050 per child per year.

There is no free high school in Kenya.

You can help these students and Fabulous African Fabrics as it helps them.  This is how.  FAF has been invited to become a part of the prestigious non-profit website,  Global Giving, which has been praised for its philanthropy and integrity by The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN and other media.

Membership allows FAF to appeal to patrons worldwide—to join the international playing field—maybe even to raise the total amount of tuition needed for a year.  I am asking you to join us because I really believe in this cause.

Global Giving challenges prospective members to raise $4000 on line in one month’s time.  Should we raise this amount from 50 people, we will become continuing members.

OUR DATES FOR GIVING ON LINE ARE

SEPTEMBER 1-30

So I am asking you to go on line in the month of September and donate $10 or more to the project entitled “Send Orphaned Teens From Kenya to High School.”

Go to http://www.globalgiving.org

            Enter our number 6163 in the project box, upper right hand corner

            Our site will appear.  Follow the instructions

120 kids will have a better life, FAF will thrive, and I will be grateful forever.

FAF has raised $1500 in the 6th day of giving.  Needed:  $2500 and 29 more donors. 

 Join us as we stretch for the top.  We want to reach our goal and win prizes for our hard work--all of which will go to sending the Good Samaritan Orphans to high school.

The pie in the face was very tasty--mmm peachy.  Check out the pix on my Facebook profile.  More foolishness promised when we reach $2000.

Go to www.globalgiving.org and insert #6163 in the project box.

Yes, it is true, I have vowed to take a pie in the face for every time we reach $1000 donated to our Global Giving website during the month of September. This is a total of $1000--you don't have to give $1000. But it would be nice.

My daughter quipped, I think some of your angry students who are still harboring ill feelings towards you could get their needs met by this offer. You had better tell those GVSU alums."

I put that in her hands.

Trembling with fear,

FAF Global Giving Alert--August 10, 2010

      FAF has met the requirements to become a special project during the month of September on www.globalgiving.org.   This is a trial to see if we can raise money on line.

     Should we succeed, we will become a regular member of this prestigious website praised in the New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, and other national and international media. 

     During the month of September we are required to raise $4000 from 50 people or more.  FAF prides itself on having only one major fund drive per year, so we will consider this to be the 2010 drive.  The Anthony Salazar Fund will resume in 201l.

     FAF members and friends must rally to meet our goal.  If each member donates $60 on the Global Giving website during September, we can succeed.  Please ask your friends, relatives, co-workers, and so forth to share in the giving.  Remember the number of people donating is as important as the amount.

     Before September 1 FAF will post instructions on how to make donations on line.

     This is one of the most important opportunities to grow that FAF has had in its 11 year history.  Plan to join us as FAF becomes a GG organization.
