With just under 2 months left until the end of our fundraising period, Write Our Future has seen some real success. With your help, we have raised funds to feed over 58 children for a year. Thank you for your incredible generosity which has made this possible!
We have also seen a number of donors email their friends to garner more support for WOF. The emails have varied but the message is the same: I support this cause and I think you should too. Write Our Future would like to ask all those who support our mission to do the same. Spend a few minutes sending the email below to friends and family members you think would be interested in what WOF is doing. Edit it as you see fit to make it a personal note, as we have found that it is this personal connection to a cause that elicits the most support. The greater the net of support we can cast, the more we can help the children of No-ofisi Primary School.
Dear (insert friend’s name here),
Here’s a way you can help a great cause in South Africa.
There’s a primary school in a very poor area of the country that is in desperate need of money to support their schoolchildren. They are without funds to continue their school feeding program, and the classrooms are in a bleak state of disrepair. Three rand ($0.43) per day will feed a schoolchild. This is sometimes the only hot meal this child will receive in a day. Each new chair for a child in grades 1, 2 & 3 costs less than $11, and a desk is only $34. Write Our Future is raising money to support these children, with the goal of raising $8500 by April 30th to provide meals and improve classroom infrastructure. That is enough money to feed 100 children for a year, give more than 700 children a place to sit, or provide 250 students a desk to write on.
This is a great opportunity to support a worthy cause. Please consider making a contribution on their website or by bank transfer. Also, you can help to spread the word by coping this note and sending it to your friends and family.

I support Write Our Future, and I hope you will too.
Best wishes,
