January Challenge Grant!
Hey all,
We are so pumped about the beginning of 2010 and focusing this new year on making an impact in the lives of others...what an incredible opportunity we have, at the start of yet another season, to make this year count for something bigger than ourselves! How cool is that?
At B4H Athens/Atlanta, we cannot begin to describe how excited we are about bringing our local community together to build into the lives, even in a small way, of some of those in our international community. 2010 holds many possibilities, one of which is sending 400 second-hand bicycles to an impoverished community in Namibia in September...
In addition to all of this, anonymous donors have approached B4H Athens/Atlanta with a January Challenge Grant. For every dollar that we raise in January 2010, it will be matched, dollar for dollar, by these donors...As it costs approximatley $30 to ship a bicycle to Africa, if you donate $30 to B4H Athens this month, you will essentially be providing for not just one bike, but two with this January Challenge Grant.
That is a potential of double the impact of your resources...that's a little girl who will be the first female in her community to use a bicycle...that will be the home health care worker who will be able to visit three times the amount of patients in a day...that will be the woman who will have access to new avenues of employment...and the father who will be trained in bicycle mechanics to now have an income for his family...
Even with the economic crisis we are in, we are yet still so rich in the eyes of the world...let's double our impact this year and extend the season of giving...Please use the donate now button to join us in affecting lives of disadvantaged Namibians, today!
Peace and love. :)
