Week one update

It has been an incredibly exciting week. Since our launch one week ago, and the start of our first initiative in collaboration with the Bulungula Incubator, we have made tremendous progress toward our goal with your help. We set out to raise the funds necessary to feed 100 schoolchildren at the No-ofisi Primary School for one year, approximately $8500 USD. Our cry for help reached many corners of the globe and thanks to donors in Australia, Canada, Great Britain, South Africa, and the USA we are more than a third of the way there with funds raised to support 35 children! We've added a donations thermometer to the website so you can continue to track our progress.

Let's keep up this fantastic pace as we must still raise over $5000 to achieve our goal. For information on donations click here. Please remember to email the WOF team at writeourfuture@gmail.com after completing any donations, including your name and the amount given. These emails are essential in helping us know who has given and track our progress.

We will continue to post news and updates, as well as tips on involvement and spreading the word, as time goes by. Sign up for email updates or follow us on Facebook to stay informed.
