Help Focal Point Aid Build Classrooms

We just received an email from Joe McKay at Focal Point Aid is asking to help nominate their terrific organization for a grant from American Express. Please visit www.membersproject.com/project/view/N34DIQ and click on the “NOMINATE THIS PROJECT” button.

From Joe McKay:

As you might already know I am involved with an NGO, Focal Point Aid. Recently American Express posted our Coffee Bay, South Africa school proposal on their Members Project website. This means if we receive enough nominations on our project we could then be eligible for funding, as much as 2.5 million dollars. The nominating is where you come in to play.

PLEASE go to our project located here www.membersproject.com/project/view/N34DIQ and click on the “NOMINATE THIS PROJECT” button. You will need to log on which anyone can do. YOU DON”T NEED TO BE A CARD MEMBER TO VOTE. This whole process should take no more then a few minutes and will provide Focal Point Aid the opportunity it needs.

If you get lost on the site, just put the below ID number in the search box.

N34DIQ

Please nominate and pass this information to all who would be interested in helping a good cause.

Thank you very much!
Joe Mckay

Class Outside

From the project description:

I would like to build school buildings for an educational system in crisis. Many children of Coffee Bay, S.A. go to school in an empty field. Children sit in these fields without furniture or a roof over their head and are expected to learn. I have received approval to build from Municipality, Tribal council, Headmen and Board of Education. I have received building plans from Dept. of Pub. Works and estimates from contractors. I have donated my time and accept NO payment to supervise this.
