Hi Lori,

I’m the co-founder of Women LEAD, one of the teams competing for the grant this month. I’d love your support to empower more than 200 young women in Nepal to become leaders in their schools and communities! Your vote would help us build the capacity of future female leaders to tackle the root causes of poverty and discrimination. Our organization strongly believes that building young women's confidence and skills is key to empowerment. Please check out our page and website to see the work that we do and let us know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Hi Lori,

I'm Eliza, a 5fer intern and I am here to ask you to help us get to our next $5000 grant.  We are only $1,857 away but in order to get there, we need every member to donate another $5 dollars. If we each chip in just a little, we will get there easily. To donate via Paypal, click here. Thank you for your support!

No problem! Thank you so much for taking the time to look at our page and support us. I really appreciate it! If you have any questions feel free to leave me a comment or a message!

Hello Lori! If you have a moment I was hoping you would come by and check out the team page for Orchid project. Orchid project's goal is to end the practice of female genital cutting. If you are inspired by what you see we welcome your support and would love it if you would become a member of our team!

Thanks!

We were (and are!) friends but I changed my pages so there is one page (my old one) which I use as the face and voice of 5 for Fairness, and this one is my personal page where I just am friends with my IRL friends!  All is well, thanks.  Nicholas Kristof linked to the post I wrote yesterday on his facebook page so that has made it quite a lively weekend indeed.  I will never again deny the power of a single tweet!  Otherwise, working hard here on 5 for Fairness and looking forward to a summer with just a little traveling.  You? xoxo

THanks for voting, Lori! It makes me so happy to see you and your energy here on 5 for Fairness. Hope your summer is lovely and long...

Hi there. I'm Eliza, one of the 5 for Fairness interns, and I want to make sure you knew that we are about to start a new voting round and decide where to send our second 5 for Fairness grant. I'm here today to ask you to join at least one Team that you think deserves a grant. The Teams that are in the running are MOSTE (Motivating Our Students Through Experience), Help the Afghan Children, Man Up, Global Fund for Women, Women's Empowerment in Uganda and Global Girl Media

In order to recapture the site's vitality and to give the newer Teams a fair chance, we hope that you will take a minute of your time and join a team today. Thank you.

Thanks for voting, Lori, and for leaving a comment! Isn't it fun to vote and know that you can feel good about the results no matter who wins?!? I love the GFW too and am so glad that we will have a chance to build support for it and also to help spread the word about the complicated, subtle and powerful work they do. xoxo
