Girl's Empowerment Camp Fundraising

Hey all of you that read this blog! We need your money to fund our Dang girl's empowerment camp.

Please see the link below for more information and how to donate( and please forgive the grammatical errors in the grant description-I was not in charge of writing it, and my carefully crafted edits were soundly ignored-it's still a good cause!).

Thank you!

Maria
