Hi there!

As friends of mine, and the good people that you are - I'd like your help with something!

In ______of 2005, I will join a group of volunteers to Thailand on a mission to help improve and expand the opportunities of needy Thai people in a relatively secluded community about an hour north of Bangkok. We will be working with and alongside young monks. They have limited schooling and access to English instruction by native English speakers. In addition, we’ll be engaging in a variety of other programs to improve sustainability for Thailand’s children and people. Through a program called Globe Aware, I'll help by volunteering my time, effort and money to work on this program.

By making a pledge on my behalf, you are supporting the development of the community toward future independence, and contributing to a greater world of understanding and awareness. While I'll be personally paying for travel to Thailand and other incurred costs, there is a $1080 program cost. Over 85% of your contribution goes directly to the programs; the other 15% is administration. Your donation is 100% tax deductible and you will receive a receipt for your tax records.

I appreciate your consideration in sponsoring me. Your support, no matter what the amount, is deeply appreciated. You can donate online, by clicking the link below

Globe Aware, a non-profit volunteer organization, is leading and organizing the program. Upon my return, I will send out a brief recap of the volunteer experience to all my sponsors. Thank you in advance for your support. Please call me if you have any questions or comments about this program. I can be reached at phone number.

Sincerely,

Your Name
