You, yes you, can help drill a well, build a school, equip a clinic, enrich a life.

Thanks for your ongoing support. Ethiopian Orphan Relief, Inc is enriched by each one of YOU!!!!

The first facebook  24 hour America’s Giving Challenge has passed, and while we didn’t win the $1000 daily challenge, we did make lots of new friends, found some new supporters, and raised more than $350 in one day of donations (and they keep rolling in)!

A huge thank you to all of you who make up the supporting body of Ethiopian Oprhan Relief, Inc.  Because of you, there are new playgrounds, medical clinics, and clean water for kids.  Thanks to you, kids are going to school, receiving medical care, and experiencing the joy of play.  When it’s discouraging to think that any gift you give, any work you do is just a drop in a bucket, think about the people who appreciate all that you do.  You know, the board of EOR, and:

friends of mine

These sweet peeps (and hundreds more) are the reason we all do what we do.

America’s Giving Challenge–daily $1000.00 prize (Facebook causes)

Many of you visit us on Facebook–we have an active cause page with more than 650 members.  We’re happy you’re part of Ethiopian Orphan Relief’s success, and now we’re asking a favor of you:

Today’s the day! From now until 3 pm EST tomorrow (October 20) please, please, please take the opportunity to donate to Ethiopian Orphan Relief, Inc. The charity with the most donations in that 24 hour period will win $1000. A thousand dollars? What kind of orphan care project could we do with that kind of money? We could buy a playground, outfit a library or school room, buy an autoclave, buy antibiotics and other necessary medications, pay for a large portion of a water filtration system, pour a foundation for a small building,,,, the list is endless. So is the need. Make no mistake–every dollar you donate benefits orphans directly. Please help us win the daily challenge. We need your help in 2 ways:

Please donate 10.00 or more (you can do so today, and also tomorrow between midnight and 3 pm EST).
Please encourage all of your Facebook friends to do the same. So much good will come from so little effort.

Thanks Friends of Ethiopia–you all rock a thousand ways!

Paige, FB nag, and EOR’s annual fund chair
