Synergo Arts wants to get the bench project moving in Mexico! The question is, how can we attract wider support? Please tell us what you think; at admin@synergoarts.org. We’d love to hear your ideas.
Your donations have helped us get ready. All the preparations are in place: the start-up kit for local woodworkers to learn to make the bench, and a train-the-trainer program for weavers to train other women to use the bench. Now we need to be able to meet on-site with the local people. Travel funds is currently our biggest resource need.
As you know, in Guatemala we’re well on our way. For the latest update: http://www.globalgiving.org/projects/artisan-backstrap-weaving-women-health-culture/.
Please tell your friends about this project and, if you can, would you please donate again?
We have exciting news! You can increase the impact of your donation to Synergo Arts by donating starting on October 12, 2010 at midnight EDT! Synergo Arts is participating in GlobalGiving's Give More, Get More campaign, in which every donation made to our project, http://www.globalgiving.org/projects/artisan-backstrap-weaving-women-health-culture-mexico/ will be matched at the following scale:
$10 - $499 -> 30% match
