Dear Lauren,

Hello Lauren,

I got involved with the Global Impact Foundation;a US-Based non-profit with operations in Nigeria.They have this wonderful initiative called Global Friends Program-a project that will connect schools in the US with rural schools in Nigeria...supporting them with books and other learning materials.The Director of the organization was in Nigeria recently and we visited several local schools...it was a great experience.At the moment,books and related items are been collected by students in the Pasadena area and will be shipped to Nigeria soon!

I just thought this will be a great piece for NEED!!! What do you think?

Dear Lauren,
I am a social woker who works for the empowerment of women, so I want to know if I can get some aid for my activities because my resources are scarce. If it is possible for you in any way to support our activities plz do it, even if you are not able to do it directly, kindly direct me to some other NGO which would support my activities.
thank you
