Help Send a Woman to College

Superstar Beth Kanter is campaigning to raise $1000 to send a woman to college. Yep. It will only cost $1000 to send Leng Sopharath to college. She’s halfway there. Here’s a video, and then scroll down.

Update: We did it!

Uploaded with Skitch!

Here’s the full article.

Click the CHIPIN widget in the upper right corner to give $10. You have $10 right? Let’s see if this community (YOU!) could blow Beth’s goal out of the water TODAY! Could we do it? Let’s try. It’s only $500 bucks. I’m logging in to give some money now. Can you help?

By the way, Beth is pioneering a lot of this social-media-for-nonprofits stuff, and Beth is a partial inspiration behind our social network group, Grasshoppers.

I’m in. How could I not, after meeting Darren Barefoot this week and experiencing his 1100 Stacies presentation? It’s all about “pyramid schemes for good.”

Thank you again everyone who helped. I wrote up how the campaign unfolded/
http://beth.typepad.com/beths_blog/2007/10/the-campaign-re.html

We’re over goal – the extra money will support the Sharing Foundation. If we can inch it up to $1,500, we can purchase a computer for her and her roommates (10 other college students being sponsored by the Sharing Foundation)

Meanwhile, stupid me – I underestimated the power of the social web – so I’m a little behind in the personalized thank yous. But I will personally thank each and every donor in some way. Thank you so much.

Yeah .. I just found out that the computer is taken care of through other channels — that’s great. But I also found out that there is another college kid in the program who needs a sponsor. So, the if the campaign total goes to $2,000 – we can all sponsor another college student. If not, the excess will go into the Sharing Foundation’s general education fund that covers kids who are not sponsored in both college and high school program.

Based on a survey of recent P.E’s, one of the most successful strategies for passing the PE exam is following the broad approach. The strategy is to review the fundamentals of the different subjects in a very broad manner. Most of the subjects are from the undergraduate level and it is as such not a Herculean task to cover the fundamentals.
