My personal message:
Thank you for visiting Creativity4aCause's fundraising page!

Janet Friedman, Russ Schoen, and Linda McGivern are very
excited to announce that we have adopted a school on behalf of Room to Read.
(Roomtoread.org). We have taken on the challenge to raise $15,000 by January 15th, 2008 to build a permanent school in Nepal!

Why? Because Room to Read is one of the most remarkable organizations we have ever come across in terms of results. They build schools and libraries in third world countries by partnering with local communities who provide some of the labor and resources to build the school. They have a proven track record of results and getting community buy-in which translates to making a SUSTAINABLE DIFFERENCE for children.

This past October, we had the opportunity to personally meet the founder of Room to Read, John Wood, and we were truly blown away by this organization's commitment to making the world a better place.

Janet, Linda and I agreed to raise $15,000 to build a school in Nepal in 2008 and we invite you to help us reach this great goal by donating here.

We hope to visit the school when it is completed (and we will extend that invite to you to join on too!)

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support our fundraising efforts.

If you have a few minutes, I invite you to check out Frontline's story on Room To Read. But be warned you may end up wanting to donate an entire school too!
Check it out here at http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/rough/2007/06/nepal_a_girls_l.html

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
