Dear Gracious Donors and Supporters of Girls in Turkey,
We officially have three weeks until the end of 2013, which means we have three weeks to fund 14 girls before 2014! We're just over 50% of the way there, but I know we can do it.
Each young girl will receive $400 per year to buy books, lunch and pay for transportation to and from school. It's scary to even think about where these girls would end up without your generous donations. But we've learned girls with scholarships have aspirations higher than the moon.
A recent documentary was made that follows five potential scholarships recipients around their home towns with their families. The determination and drive of each young girl to convince her parents she deserved to be in school and that her education would benefit the whole family was jaw dropping. Watch the trailer here. These girls do not just appreciate your donations, they live for them. They know that becoming an English teacher or any other profession will pull themselves and their family out of poverty.
Any donations counts - any amount will put a smile on her face. Spread the word, these girls are just looking for an opportunity to turn their lives around. Remember, we have until December 31st!
Thank you again for your continued generosity and support. You're awesome.
