Sponsor Anita's "Run for a dream" - a dream to make a difference

Dear Friends,

This year I have been given a unique opportunity to use my long-standing hobby of running to help improve the lives of thousands of underprivileged youth in India by joining Lend-A-Hand India's "Run for a Dream" team.

As I train for the Greater Hartford Half-Marathon on October 13th, 2007, I ask for your help in raising funds to further Lend-A-Hand India's mission of making a difference in the lives of the poor. My goal is to raise $100 per mile. The money raised will go toward supporting Lend-A-Hand India's flagship project 'PLAN100' which aims at launching basic rural technology centers in 100 high schools in India to provide job and life skills to 20,000 young girls and boys by 2008.

You can contribute by sponsoring me online through PayPal or by check payable to "Lend-A-Hand India" at the address below. All contributions are tax-exempt. Also, please note that most corporations will match your donation! You can find the appropriate forms by going to your company's philanthropy site. For an illustrative list of such companies, please click here. The EIN for Lend-A-Hand India is 90-0150814. If you need assistance, please contact me at anitamvarghese@yahoo.com.

I truly appreciate your support. Every dollar makes a difference!

Anita
