As you may know, I am a committed supporter of the All Together Foundation (registered 501C3 in the USA and registered NGO in Guatemala), which supports the Konojel Community Center in San Marcos La Laguna, Guatemala.
In a country with the 4th highest rate of chronic malnutrition in the world, Konojel feeds 60 of the most malnourished and at risk members of the community, daily. In addition, they provide educational support for elementary school students, a computer center accessible to the indigenous community, and coordinate a cooperative that provides sustainable, dignified work for local women.
Today, on Giving Tuesday, we are making a concerted effort to raise $40,000, one year of Konojel’s operating budget, enough to feed, educate, provide access to the digital world, and support the women of the cooperative in expanding their work for an entire year. I have committed to helping from within my network, which is why I am reaching out to you today.
If you share my commitment to eradicating malnutrition and providing access to education and opportunity for the underprivileged I’d like to boldly ask you to do the following:
A recurring monthly donation will keep food on the plates of a village full of kids
SHARE this donation link on your Facebook and other social media profiles, tag @konojel and use the hashtag #konojel1128 and invite your friends to donate as well
Forward this email to everyone you know
As I’m sure you know, fundraising is a numbers game, the more people we reach the more we can raise for the kids
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions. Visit the Konojel Facebook page and follow us on Instagram to follow the progress of the fundraiser throughout the day.
