Meet Sina: She Helps Make Those $10 Uniforms: Only A Few Days Left To Make Our Goal!

Sina, age 15, is an orphan and head of her family -- two younger sisters aged 11 and 8 (Sina is in photo with the white shirt and blue shorts on the left). She earns a monthly wage working for a sewing school and shop, a vocational program run by the Sharing Foundation that trains young women so they can earn a sustainable living wage with a home-based sewing business or get a better paying job in Cambodia’s garment industry.

Sina helps makes school uniforms that the Foundation provides to over 1,000 street children in Cambodia so they can attend school.  Sina’s younger sisters are 2 of over 500 students who are learning English in a program in the local village supported and run by TSF.

This year we could more than double the number of uniforms we provide to children in Cambodia, including some for HIV children's group homes.  The Sharing Foundation has the opportunity to receive matching dollars from Yahoo via the Network For Good Charity Badge program. This could make a big difference for thousands of children in Cambodia.  We need just a few minutes of your time and a few dollars before December 31, 2006

Here's how it works: Yahoo! is offering a $50,000 matching grant for the nonprofit which gets the largest number of donations before the end of the year using its new "charity badges."  (see below)  What is important is the number of donors, not the amount of dollars.    

A large number of people contributing just the minimum of $10 each would make all the difference in the world.  (We also would be happy to receive larger contributions to help more children lift themselves out of poverty through education and the Sharing Foundation's other programs.)

Can you think of a better use of $10 or more? Send poor Cambodian to school, provide employment for young women like Sina in Cambodia, and help the Sharing Foundation raise additional dollars to help address poverty in Cambodia.  Simply click on the orange donate button on the charity badge located in the side bar or below.  If our campaign has the most individual donors, Yahoo will match what we raise.  So, why not help us today!
