JANUARY 6, 2009

My birthday is officially on Sunday and if we can raise $5,200 - we can leverage some matching money - $520. I just got an email from Dr. Hendrie who is in Cambodia right now. The money raised from my birthday campaign would help us hire one of the college students that the Sharing Foundation has sent to school to teach the kids.

Two years ago, my family and I made a commitment to sponsor Leng Sopharath, a young woman from Cambodia, for her college education through the Sharing Foundation 's education program.
