Recently, I left Afghanistan and returned to the States where we are blessed and fortunate enough to have never truly struggled with education or healthcare needs. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for a majority of the women in Afghanistan.
When I return to Wisconsin, my mother has asked me to take part with her in a live television event – where I will give up something of mine – my hair. For the sixth time I will be donating my hair to Locks of Love.
Therefore, I am asking for your support, as I support the Linda Norgrove Foundation, a new grant giving trust which provides funding for women, families and children in Afghanistan. The Foundation offers help with regard to education and health, childcare including orphanages, and scholarships so that Afghan women can go to University.
I know these things may seem unrelated, but oddly, to me they are not. The quote "To those whom much is given, much is expected," explains it all. As I leave Kabul, help me leave something behind. As always, thank you for all of your support.
Please go to http://www.virginmoneygiving.com/AnnaElizabeth to see my fundraising page and sponsor me online.
For all of those who contribute to the cause, I will share the video of the show - which is sure to be a treat if you know my mother, and if you know my fear of cameras. :)
Thanks so much for all of your support, always!
Again, please go to http://www.virginmoneygiving.com/AnnaElizabeth to support the cause.
