Thank you for visiting my fundraising page for the Central Asia Institute!  To celebrate all that I have been given during my 50 years, I'm encouraging my friends to make donations to some non-profit organizations that I think make a great difference in the world.

Central Asia Institute supports community-based education and literacy, especially for girls, in the remote regions of Central Asia.  Bringing education to remote areas is one of the ways that I think we can promote peace in the world.  This is the charity that is affiliated with Greg Mortensen, author of THREE CUPS OF TEA.  Special thanks to Wendy Moores and Sarah Salls for bringing it to my attention.

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure.  Many thanks for considering supporting this organization in celebration of my brithday.  You can find out more about it by visiting www.ikat.org.
