Here's the deal.
I am trying to raise $1,000 for Acumen Fund within the next 24 hours.
I want to do this by getting 100 people to donate $10.
This will be the beginning of an initiative to raise $10,000.
I don't really get what the deal is with the economy. Yes, we're in a recession. But hey, gas prices are low, we can still afford our tuition, we are healthy, and we are happy.
This is not the case for everyone. Some people are hurting all the time. Some people are struggling all the time. Some people never stopped being in recession. For some people, the difference between being a penny ahead and a penny behind is their life.
What you have to do is realize that these people need some help.
Acumen Fund is doing incredible work in creating markets in developing countries that foster productivity, innovation, and growth.
So give $10, HERE'S WHY:
1) Its easy, just visit my fundraising page http://www.firstgiving.com/studentsforacumen and donate online with a credit card. All donations are secure and sent directly to ACUMEN FUND INC by Firstgiving, who will email you a printable record of your donation.
2) Its a win-win. Let's face it: $10 will not make a difference in your life, but it will make a difference in the lives of those that need it
3)You will become part of a powerful movement to change the way the world tackles poverty
Please send my page on to anyone who might like to contribute to this movement!
Cheers,
Sara
