Shaun replied to 5 for Fairness's discussion 'I Voted!'"I voted for Akilah Institute for Women, Rwanda.
Two reasons:
(1) I like the purpose and
(2) I have a very good friend from Rwanda whose mother and sister live there, so it's a vote in honour of them too.
Best wishes"

Payton M said… Hi Shaun:
I'm Payton, 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…

Claire Charamnac said… Hi Shaun,
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!

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!

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!
