Sending warm holiday wishes to all of EWB’s supporters!

25 December, 2009 @ 11:14

As we gather together with friends and family this holiday season, we just wanted to take this opportunity to extend our deepest thanks to EWB’s dedicated network of supporters.

The committed and forward- thinking nature of our EWB colleagues and friends never ceases to amaze and motivate each one of us – either at as chapter or staff member, overseas volunteer or a professional engineer. Together, the strength of EWB’s network helps us all think a little deeper about the change we can create both at home and far away.

We have big ambitions to make this change a reality in 2010. We are hoping to double the number of overseas volunteers to exponentially improve farmers’ incomes, clean water access, roads and schools for even the most remote communities.

The World of Opportunity campaign has been a big part of our ability to make 2010 a truly remarkable year for EWB. Over 560 EWBers have come together and raised $ 160,000 to help EWB have our desired impact in the coming year.

With only one week left, now more than ever is the time to ensure you make your campaign a success! If each campaigner can reach their goal, we will have more than enough resources to send an additional 30 volunteers overseas in the coming months. Consider the impact we could have with double the number of volunteers!

Use our Tips and Resources to share your World of Opportunity campaign with your friends and family in the coming week. We have provided useful holiday Twitter and Facebook messages, as well as tips from other campaigners - it’s easier than ever to reach your goal.

Warm wishes to you and your family over the holiday season!
