Annual Campaign
Until now, most of
our fundraising efforts were based on project specific
campaigns. As a long-term strategy, we decided
to launch an annual campaign for the rest of the
year in order to continue and accomplish our program
goals successfully.
Our campaign is moving
along slowly as we have been currently primarily
focusing on our programs and the new Volunteer
Center. Furthermore, we realize that fundraising
efforts throughout the U.S. has concentrated on
the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina. We
are, however, on track with our fundraising plans
and have initiated new efforts such as signing
up for E-Bay and freepledge.
Please see our annual
campaign letter for further details.
