Hi:

Hi Nancy and thank you so much for donating (again!) to help us get our grant account back to $5000. I'm so grateful.  We've now given away $35,000 to 7 different organizations in 6 different countries.  We're nothing if not a work in progress, but each time we give away a grant we know we are a)supporting a terrific project b)building awareness for all the Teams c)giving all the Teams an opportunity to craft more effective story telling and d)growing our own circle of supporters dedicated to making the world fair for girls and women. And all that from an all-volunteer group.  Thanks so much for being part of our circle and for your extra-generous support. xoxo Anna

PS It was great to see you the other night - too brief though!  Hopefully we can have a dinner soon...

Hi Nancy, I’ve started a team for an incredible organization called the Akilah Institute.   I am so inspired by the work they are doing to help educate and train women in post genocidal Rwanda. Please check out my team page and I hope you consider voting for it.  If you like what you see, please click the LIKE button.  Thanks!

Thanks for donating again, Nancy! Voting starts next Wednesday at 12PM PST.  It's going to be very exciting I think because the Teams are all great. Thanks again! xo Anna

Hi Nancy,

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 Nancy,

The voting round has just begun! We invite you to come check out Solar Sister's team page before you cast your vote! Solar Sister is a wonderful organization that provides women with sustainable and reliable technology as well as training and marketing support that allows women to become their own bosses by selling solar powered lamps in rural and energy deprived places.

Hi Nancy! My name is Kearney, and I'm a 5fer intern. Like Anna, I wanted to welcome to 5 for Fairness! Thanks so much for joining the site. We have a number of incredible teams championed here, including Camp Voice, Man Up, Equality Now, and Solar Sister. We are in the middle of a voting period right now, so I encourage you to learn about the various causes of these organizations, and vote for your favorite in hopes of gaining them the $5000 grant! In addition to supporting these teams, we have a lot else going on here. There are discussions, videos, and articles posted by our members all the time addressing womens issues and rights worldwide, and I hope that you will not hesitate in joining in the forum, as well as contributing your own posts, etc should you be so inspired. If you have any questions at all about the site, please do not hesitate to ask me! thanks so much!
