Paolo replied to 5 for Fairness's discussion 'Read of the Day: Keep your hands off my heart-strings...'"I fear alas some people get some sort of buzz from the "savior" aspect (Tony Blair comes to mind).

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 Paolo, I'm Payton M a 5 for fairness intern. Now that we have ended the last grant cycle it's time to raise another $5,000 so that we can provide one for a new team. We currently have slightly under $4,000 and you can help us reach our goal by donating just $5. Women's rights are very important to me as a young girl and your $5 will contribute to bringing awareness to women's rights issues. We appreciate all you've done and continue to do!

Anna McDonnell said… - Well thank ou for filling out our decidedly NOT old-school survey. And yes, every single thing could be easier and will be so! Am thinking of radically simplifying the home page for starters and having that, essentially, serve only as an introduction to non-members and education for new members. Look forward to your thoughts on all the simplification to be done! xo
