a. Read the last post! Lots of info on my school library project, plus a pleasepleaseplease for donations.
b. The quick version, for those of you with real jobs: donate to Peace Corps Benin projects! Here are the three I most care about (emphasis on the first one, which is my baby). All contributions are tax-deductable, go directly to the projects (no overhead or organization fees) and can be done with a credit card or "ACH Bank Check," whatever that is. Click on the name to go to the donation site.
CEG Daagbe School Library: Help build a library for my secondary school!
Camp GLOW: Fund a weeklong camp for 10-14 year old girls, where we'll teach them about health, their rights, education, goal setting, and how to take control of their own lives. Read my blog from Camp GLOW last year: http://lissainbenin.blogspot.com/2011/07/finally-camp-glow-post.html
Camp BLOW*: Contribute to a weeklong camp for 10-14 year old boys. Basically the same thing as Camp GLOW, except we'll focus a lot on treating everyone (girls included) with respect. This is our attempt at hitting the girls' empowerment thing from every angle, while at the same time enriching the lives of smart, motivated boys in our villages.
*Yes, I know, ridiculous name, but the girls' camp is "Girls Leading Our World," so we went for consistency rather than respectability.
