Children in Africa need your help!


Every five seconds a child dies because she or he is hungry, that's the equivalent of forty five 747's full of children crashing every day.

We have a way for you to help in the movement to end child poverty and hunger. All you need to do is join Eat So They Can and host a fundraising event. The event can be breakfast, lunch, or dinner; it can be a small gathering, an elaborate dinner, a party, a cocktail hour... whatever you choose!

Eat So They Can is co-sponsored by the Global Volunteer Network, and the GVN Foundation. This year, on October 17th-18th, hosts around the world will share a meal with friends and raise money to benefit the GVN Foundation's African Children's Fund:

Raising $100 will buy 20 thick blankets.

Raising $250 will buy school books for 500 orphaned children.

Raising $500 will feed 30 orphans for 3 months.

Please Eat So They Can. To sign up as a host, click here: http://www.eatsotheycan.org/getinvolved/signup.php


Thank you,

Colin Salisbury
