World of Opportunity: Together we have raised $100,000!

17 December, 2009 @ 11:36

It’s time to celebrate! Together we have raised $ 100,000 through the World of Opportunity campaign.

As a campaigner, donor or supporter, thank you for your commitment to helping us get this far.

We’re on our way to our goal of $500,000! Reaching this goal will help ensure that EWB can double our overseas volunteers in 2010, and substantially improve the lives of thousands of Africans. But there are only 2 weeks left to make this a reality!

Now is the time to give your campaign a boost. Use the campaigner tips, Facebook messages, and sample emails that we are continually updating with great strategies.

Josh Workman from the Vancouver Professional Chapter is running 1 km for each $20 dollars donated to his campaign. Jon Beale, a returned overseas volunteer, hosted a talk about business in Africa in support of his campaign goal. There are so many great ideas out there– and we are working hard to share them with you.

Our thanks again to all EWBers, everyone who helped us reach $ 100,000 today! You are helping to build a World of Opportunity for the next generation of Africans and create the change that we know is possible in 2010.
