- It's a fantastic way to get people involved in supporting great causes! I love that you want to be honest and open, and try to re-educate donors about what their money can and does do. Brilliant idea.

I'm Sophie, a 5fer intern, and am just dropping by to say "Thank you!" for being such a loyal and active 5fer. It is because of members like you that we have been able to give away seven (yes, seven!) $5000 grants to organizations working to make the world fair for girls and women - and we're only a few hundred dollars away from our eighth! We are so appreciative of the way you have put up with all our many growing pains and hope you keep on believing in our circle and the good we can do. Thanks again…

Hi Ruthie:
Love the video you posted on the Orchid Project page but you added it as a comment which makes it impossible to link to on fb and Twitter. Can you start a discussion for it here and copy and paste your comment into it. That way we can more easily share it! As soon as you do, I am going to disable the comment feature on the Team page. Thanks!Anna
