I’m very happy to be going to school
Dear friend, Give Children The Gift Of Education, Get A Gift Full Of Smiles! I’m sending this quick reminder on the importance of Save the Children’s Education Program because millions of children around the world are still waiting for their first chance to go to school ... and because the free calendar offer I mentioned in my previous message is about to run out.
Please make a donation of $25 or more to Save the Children today to help us provide more children with the most direct and viable pathway out of poverty: a quality education. As you read this, 100 million girls and boys – about 60 percent of them girls – are out of school. Some are children of war; others come from families too poor to afford even modest school fees. But without an education, they are all likely to be trapped in poverty and despair. It can take very little money to give children the literacy skills they need to be successful and self-reliant.$56 could send one girl to school for a full year. This is just an example of how your gift can help as we will use your gift to help fund our education programming around the world and in the U.S. By supporting Save the Children, you can help us give the priceless gift of education. If you contribute $25 or more, we will send you a free Save the Children 2009 Calendar featuring the smiling faces of some of the millions of girls and boys touched by our work. No matter how much you decide to help, please take a moment right now to make a donation to Save the Children to support our Education Program and other efforts that create positive lasting change for children around the world. Thank you, Charles MacCormack President and CEO Save the Children |
