The fallout over the Greg Mortenson story

Thought I'd share this article from today's Wall St. Journal on the distrust of NGO's after the Greg Mortenson debacle.  One positive result is that groups that rate charities are changing their assessment process.

Hi Melissa,

I’m the co-founder of Women LEAD, one of the teams competing for the grant this month. I’d love your support to help us 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. 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,

My name is Payton M, I am a 5 For Fairness intern. I’m stopping by to let you know that now is the time to support your favorite team or teams to help them advance into the voting round. Seven teams are competing for five available spots in the voting round. The five teams that make it to the voting round will have a chance to win our $5000 grant, but only one team will win. The teams need your support now to make it into the voting round.  Here's how to support a Team:

First click on the Teams tab at the top of any page to see all of the teams. Click on any team that sounds interesting to you. If you like what you see and want to become a supporter, click the +Support (Team name) button in the upper right hand corner of the Team page. You can support as many Teams as you think deserve a spot in the Voting Round. Click here for more information on how to support a Team or, if you are ready to start, click here to see all the Teams.

 

Thanks for supporting 5 For Fairness, 

Payton M.
