Invite you to help transform an AIDS orphan’s life through education.
Dear Friends,
I am raising a minimum of $3,000 to support the education of students at Peace House Secondary School in Arusha, Tanzania, www.peacehouseafrica.com. In February I will travel to Arusha, to volunteer at Peace House which was established for AIDS orphans and other vulnerable children, and I would welcome your help. As many of you know, I had my first book published last year, Blueprint for Success. To aid my fundraising efforts, I will sell 150 personally inscribed books for $20 each (+shipping) with all proceeds going to Peace House Africa. You can purchase the books directly through my blogsite www.theyellowarrow.com starting Monday, January 25, 2010. In the dropdown box for “Special Instructions to Merchant”, indicate who the book is for and I will personalize the inscription.
Thank you for your kind consideration in supporting this effort. If you are not interested in purchasing a book but would still like to make a contribution, even if it is $1, please let me know and I can send you a link from my PayPal account.
For those who were moved by my Camino story, please know that I look forward to sharing the inner journey of this experience when I return. I can tell you now that through the power of synchronicity, this volunteer opportunity presented itself at the most unlikely time during a leadership development benchmarking interview with Target. And, I had been searching for an opportunity just like this for about three months, unsuccessfully, when I learned in October that I would be traveling to Kenya for work. But, if you know me, the story did not begin there. It began in December, 2007 when I was standing in a temple in Hyderabad, India. For some reason, I was called to Africa via India…and that, my friends, is a story for another day…
Thank you for any support you can offer.
¡Buen Camino!
Shannon
