Not much time on this one, so I’m just cutting and pasting:

If you’ve already donated, thank you. We have a little more than 24
hours to go and we’re in third place. We can win this contest with
your help!

We need you to donate $10 or more and ask your friends and family to
do the same. Please distribute this message to your networks.

The Sharing Foundation is participating in the America’s Giving
Challenge sponsored by The Case Foundation, GlobalGiving and PARADE
magazine to see who can motivate the most people to give at least $10
to their favorite charity online by January 31, 2008 (3 PM EST). The
top four charities in Global Giving will each win $50,000 – and we can
be one of them with your support!

The Sharing Foundation cares for more than 1,500 Cambodian children
each and every day. $50,000 would cover the annual expenses for our
English Language School, attended by over 450 children in Roteang
Village and the Khmer Literacy School attended by more than 140 of
Roteang village’s poorest children. It would also help support a
portion of the operating costs for the Sharing Foundation’s Roteang
Orphanage, home to over 70 children; nearly half of whom have serious
disabilities.

With $10 and 10 minutes of your time you can help improve the lives of
over 1,500 children in one of the world’s poorest countries. Please
make your donation online now and invite your friends to do the same!

Thank you for your support of the Sharing Foundation and helping us
care for the children of Cambodia.

All Best,

Dr. Nancy Hendrie, President
Beth Kanter, Executive Board Member
