Dear Friends,
Today only,October 7, make your donation go even further!
Noon to midnight ET on GlobalGiving.com, donations to these special projects will be eligible for Microsoft Youthspark bonus funds, but the money will go quickly.
Here are the eligible projects:
362 Educating Tibetan Refugee Children and Youth

12500 Help Fund Scholarships for Afghan Children
1143 Help Afghan Boys Trade Guns for Books
8791 Transform the Lives of 70,000 Afghan Adolescent Girls
Many families in Afghanistan cannot afford to send their children to good schools or there are not enough good schools in their area. CHI supports these families by making scholarships available so the children can attend a quality high school. This makes a huge diffference to the lives of these young people and to their families. So far more than 70 scholarships have been provided. All the recipients were thrilled to get help with the finances. One student said, “Thank you for this great opportunity, It has changed my life. I could not go to such a good school without help.”
Can you help support a student?
The matching funds are only available for a limited time, so be sure to make your donations on October 7 at 12.01 pm ET! All donations are final and up to $1,000 per donor per organization can be matched..
