The Giving Lens is proud to partner with Empowerment International to bring you the first ever TGL Holiday Fundraiser. EI focuses on using Child Education to combat poverty and by keep kids off the streets and out of gangs in the country of Nicaragua.

The Giving Lens has partnered with six professional photographers to give you an opportunity to not only help provide an education to those in need, but possibly come away with one of six 20 x 30 prints from some of the most beautiful locations on the planet Each of these prints retails over $500 each.

The photographers include:

For every $10 you donate, you get entered in a chance to take home one of these prints. Please note that an individual can only win one print durring this contest. Your donation is a tax write off and you will receive the proper paperwork.

The fundraiser runs from December 8th - 14th, with the winners being announced on December 15th, 2011. Names will be assigned a number based on the order in which the donations came in and then using www.random.org, 6 random numbers will be drawn to decide the winners.

Please note that many major companies will match your donation, meaning that you can double your impact.

We would like to thank SmugMug for sponsoring this Fundraiser.

*We can only ship the winning prints to a US or Canada address. If you are outside of those countries you can still donate to help child education in Nicaragua but if you win you must have the print sent to someone you know in one of these two count

    Great Cause - little investments in educations can yield the highest returns! Will certainly be keeping an eye on this and promoting it as much as possible.
