Helping Hands 2007!

'Tis the season for the giving and sharing. As you may know, I lived in Santiago, Chile for 7 months working/volunteering in a children's shelter for abused/neglected girls. VEGlobal is currently hosting its Helping Hands 2007 fundraising drive so please help out my special girls and the rest of the children of VE by pledging as little as $5 and/or forwarding the form email below onto friends and family. With over 200 volunteers in our network, from 32 different countries, many new people are finding out about VEGlobal! We are aiming to raise USD$5, 000.00 by 11:59:59 on December 31st, 2007. The donations can be as little or as big as donors want because every cent counts! Here is a link to our donation page: Helping Hands 2007

Thank you again for all your support and generosity!




Dear Friends, Friends of Friends, Family and Friends of Family, etc.,

As many of you know, I was in Santiago, Chile last year volunteering with VEGlobal to bring new opportunities to 1,000 amazing children in need. With the end of a very exciting year rapidly approaching, we are kicking off our first online push for support "Helping Hands 2007," which is an excellent way for people like you to help the children too!

Read on or go to the official page.


With our current and former volunteers totaling more than 200, from 5 continents and 32 countries, our global presence is great. To cap off an exciting year and build on its momentum, we are reaching out to our global community of family and friends to raise $5,000.00 by 11:59:59 on December 31st. Instead of asking for large donations, we are encouraging everyone involved with VE to forward this email to their friends and family, and to use the link to donate anywhere from $5 to $500 dollars before the New Year's deadline. Every little amount counts, and all it takes is a few mouse clicks to be part of this exciting global movement!


VEGlobal is a non-profit organization that empowers volunteers from around the world to create and implement a variety of innovative and powerful programs in education, recreation and culture to provide new opportunities to children hard hit by the realities of extreme poverty. We organize a global community of volunteers of diverse backgrounds and nationalities in a universal effort to achieve our dream in Chile and bridge the social rifts that perpetuate poverty and child abuse. VE is one of the few organizations that charges no fee to its volunteers, and is funded almost entirely by the generosity of individual donors.
Please use this link to donate any amount from $5 to $500 through PayPal's easy service.


With help from all hands across the globe, our $5,000 is well within reach. When you're done, please forward this email on to your friends and family. We will be tracking our progress on our website.


We are invoking the spirit of giving as 2007 comes to a close. There are lots of great changes going on within VEGlobal, and we are going to lead into 2008 full force, but we need your help to better serve the children!
All the best,
The VEGlobal Team
