the climb out of poverty, aided by wings of toast.
You have hopefully noticed a very exciting announcement over at the Arohon blog, or on the project's Facebook fan page (of which I sincerely hope you are a member! If not, go 'Like' now.)
Breadpig, fellow geeky world savers, are teaming up with Arohon to match every donation you make between now, and the ever-scarily-fast-approaching Kilimanjaro climb in September, YAY!
Through Arohon, my sister & I are trying to raise at least £5000 to establish a brand new education and community centre for women and girls in rural Bangladesh, in an area where women wanting to pursue their own careers face much cultural opposition. Furthermore, investing in women and girls has been shown to have far reaching effects in helping the climb out of poverty, as explored in this previous MAWSB post.
So, now, more than ever, there is no reason not to donate. Go do it now? You're helping make REAL change, the results of which you will be able to see yourself.
And, of course, a huge thank you to our porcine hero Breadpig, whose other world-saving endeavours you should definitely follow.
(Also: oops! Apologies for the lack of updates for the past couple of weeks, normal service resuming now. Er, after the blatant Arohon self-promotion, I mean, ahem.)
