Patricia Foster was a guest at a recent event and gave an insightful presentation on what is happening in East Palo Alto. She can use your help. Even a $10 donation makes a difference;more certainly would help. If you can let a few other people know, that would be great. Thanks for your consideration.
The Girls to Women Project (http://www.girlstowomen.org), the only girl-centered youth development organization in the East Palo Alto community, is challenged to raise at least $4000 from 50 different people by July 1 to win a permanent place on www.globalgiving.org, which allows people anywhere to donate to them.
To donate, click http://www.GlobalGiving.com/2940. You can give as little as $10 or as much as...? you decide. They really need the money now to keep the program going during this very rough time for non-profits. Please donate now - we are wanting to get the energy moving for them to succeed!
A friend of mine attended their end of year academic celebration. It was wonderful, uplifting; the kind of gathering that makes me proud of supporting great work. You can see pictures of the girls at http://girlstowomen.org/gallery.html Programs like this make a difference;they provide the kind of life support that they get nowhere else.
Please DONATE something now - they need 50 separate donors to qualify for this place. And, please pass this to people who would want to know about it. It's a small gesture that can make a difference.

The project is called "Academic Support and Mentoring for Underserved Girls". Homework support is an important part of the many activities provided for the girls.
