Supporting Success Scholarship Fund

I want to sincerely thank all of our supporters for your contributions to the Supporting Success Scholarship Fund and our efforts in the "Everbody Can Win" Challenge. We received 361 donations from November 15th to December 15th, an incredible number that surprised even us. In the last few days of the challenge, we were locked in a tight battle with another organization. On the last day, their project received a huge amount of donations and just hours before the deadline it looked like winning the challenge was out of reach for us. Amazingly, however, we were able to fight our way back and took first place in the very final minutes, winning by just seven donations. Needless to say, it was a very exciting - and very nerve wracking - day. Your donations allowed us to win the $15,000 prize for first place in the challenge. More importantly, it will allow us to expand the reach of Supporting Success to more deserving children in Zambia. The lives of these chidren will be changed by the opportunity of education that you have given to them. While they will still struggle with the challenges of poverty that surround them, they will have the hope of a brighter future and the vision of a better life. We will be presenting scholarships to this year's class of recipients in Zambia before the end of 2008. I will send you another update shortly afterwards to introduce you to the children whose lives you are changing. Thank you again; have a wonderful holiday.
