Help me raise the requested $5000 commitment as I look to join Manna Project's Board of Directors.

Dear friends and donors –

I hope that this email finds you well as you recover from Thanksgiving and plan for Christmas and Hannukah.

It has been five years since I first reached out to you for your support as I planned to move to Quito, Ecuador with Manna Project International. That experience was as transformative for me as it was meaningful to the communities we served. Since then Manna Project has been able to provide the same kind of experience to over 500 young people working in three communities in Latin America. (here is a recent video, if you’d like to see what MPI is up to).

You all have supported me once, and I am asking that you consider doing so again. One of my own volunteers is now serving on the MPI Board of Directors, and Zak has asked me to join him in charting Manna Project’s course over the next few years. Joining the Board means committing to raise $5000 each year; would you be willing to help me achieve that goal, enabling me to continue to contribute to MPI’s future?

The decision to join the MPI Board is one I have been considering for the last month. Manna Project faces tough choices in the next few years. When we launched MPI in 2004, there were few options for bright young college students to engage in meaningful international development work. Today, there are hundreds. In the next twelve months, part of my job will be to help determine how MPI can be relevant into this new competitive landscape. It’s a challenge I’m eager to take on, but one that I cannot do without your help.
