Dear More Than Me Family,
Thank you for your continued support. Working in Liberia can pose many different challenges, and we couldn't do our work without donors like you. Over the past few months, we've expanded our mission to fight Ebola, and the fight is not over yet. We've started The Coalition to End Ebola because we believe that as long as Ebola is in Liberia, our girls are at risk. So we are fighting to end this epidemic as quickly as possible by understanding and supporting the needs of communities and local leaders, and remaining flexible to respond rapidly to urgent needs.
The More Than Me Academy and all other schools in Liberia are still closed. Our girls have been out of school for way too long. Recently, President Sirleaf lifted the state of emergency in Liberia and hopes to be able to reopen schools in early 2015. We are working hard in our community and hoping that Ebola cases continue to decline so that we can reopen the More Than Me Academy in February 2015.
To continue this work, we absolutely need your help. The next GlobalGiving Match Day is on Giving Tuesday, December 2nd! On that day, donations up to $500 are matched 100% by Microsoft. Matching starts at 9am ET on Tuesday, December 2nd. Need a reminder? Join our facebook event and we'll share the link at the exact time matching starts.
Wishing you and yours a happy Thanksgiving, we are grateful for you!
In this together,
Emily and the More Than Me Team
