Now, to business.

Have you ever fantasized about all the good things you could do if you only had more money?

Between now and the end of 2006, regardless of your disposable income, you can make a significant difference in impoverished communities worldwide by helping The Web Women Giving Circle raise at least $100,000 in the CARE-More Challenge.

Research shows that educating girls and helping women establish modest, sustainable enterprises is one of the best ways to break the cycle of poverty and lead to enduring improvements in the welfare of entire communities.

The Care-More Challenge is an opportunity to make a significant contribution no matter how modest your means. If every reader of this e-zine donated $10, we would raise over $100,000 ourselves. That's what I call leverage.

It only takes a minute or two to donate the amount that is appropriate for your circumstances. Amounts that may seem inconsequential ($5. $25. $150.) can provide enough working capital for an impoverished woman to start a successful micro-business.

I Want to Give You More than a Hug.
 Donate before midnight November 23rd (US Thanksgiving), and you will receive valuable premiums ranging from a copy of The Courage to Succeed: A Brief Guide to Cultivating Soulful Prosperity in Life and Work, an e-book by yours truly, to private facilitation of The Work of Byron Katie or a private coaching session.

The $10, 90 Second Solution
Care to give $10? This link will take you immediately to a secure form where you can provide your debit or credit card information. No premiums at this level except my gratitude and your satisfaction at being part of a very cool thing.

Why donate to CARE? Because CARE has a real impact on women and their communities around the world. For example:

$50 can send an Afghan girl to school for a year.

$125 can train a woman in Nepal to teach maternal and child health in her community.

$600 can keep 10 girls in Sudan in school and teach them about AIDS prevention.

$9,000 can pay for a reservoir pond for a village with 1,000 people.

If you'd like to donate but don't want to bother with premiums (or prefer to give a different amount), you can do that here. Send me a copy of your email receipt and I will gladly set you up with the applicable premiums.

Thank you!

Molly

"The Giving Circle captured my imagination immediately. Whatever business I've been in, I've always donated a portion of the income to some worthy cause or other. In the 90's, I supported One Percent for Peace (popularized by the Ben and Jerry's Peace Pop). My coaching company, Shaboom Inc., Life could be a dream..., sponsors two children through Childreach/Plan USA.

"Every month, somewhere between 20,000 and 30,000 people read my bimonthly ezine and/or visit my web sites. I'm excited about the potential to reach these folks and include them in the giving Circle Project."--Molly Gordon
