We're getting married!!! :)
And we want to commemorate this happy time in our lives by asking all our loved ones to help us spread the gift of education.
We are teaming up with Glimmer of Hope Foundation (www.aglimmerofhope.org) and You to build a library in Robit Village, Ethiopia (less than an hour south of Gondar, see a video here http://www.vimeo.com/14394714).
A document with all the details about the integrated development plan for Robit Village and its surrounding area is available at this link: https://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0BwXh-SPojzSLODM0ZmE5NDctMjEyMy00ZTk....
Glimmer of Hope is leading the project that will bring an improved school system, library, health center, credit institution and clean drinking water to Robit. Glimmer has local partners to implement the project. A pair of donors have already committed $250,000 to start construction of a new school system beginning this October. We have volunteered to raise $60,000 for the library. In November Glimmer will host a Let There Be Hope event to raise funds for the broader initiative.
We hope you share our passion for giving those less fortunate than ourselves the tools to build a better future for themselves. And as we embark on our bright new future together, nothing will make us happier than to have your help in building this library for the kids of Robit.
Thank you for visiting our fundraising site.
