I have contributed to and raised money for Shining Hope for Communities since their first year. It is the best run, most impactful small charity in a developing country I have ever seen--and I work with many. I have known Jessica for many years, and Kennedy since he came to the U.S. five years ago. Shining Hope for COmmunities can help provide a "cookie cutter" to replicarte their success other places. Their work is transformative. Please give! And delight your soul by learning about what they do...I play their video, "I know I can" when I am having a bad day. Elizabeth Bennett

I am a member of a Dining for Women. (DiningforWomen.org) We give a grant each month to women and girls living in extreme poverty. In 2011 we gave a grant to the Kibera Girls School. And in September a group of women from Dining for Women chapters around the US will visit the school. Jessica and Kennedy - you are amazing!
