I would like to talk to you about an educative initiative that has had great results in Colombia. It involves an educational model that is designed for the needs of people determined by the context they belong to; so it can be applied in any part of the world thanks to the ethnographic investigations donde by our pedagogic team to create the interactive and printed material we use. It has allowed us to teach thousands of eprsons how to read and write not only in spanish but also in their native languages; as your read, by using our own interactive software we integrate technology to our educational process. Besides, we intend to teach simulteaneously to our students that they can promote social and economic development within their communities and countries, for these we include communitary productive programs in our curricula.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately we havent been able to share and implement our UNESCO winning educational model as much as we would like beacuse sometimesgovernmental entities dont have the money.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We have managed to implement our model in osme communities thanks so donations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We invite you to donate money to implement our model; you can choose the country or the place, as I told you we are ready and willing to work anywhere in the world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For more information you can contact me: Jessica Murcia jmurciapoulsen@gmail.com&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">JESSICA MURCIA POUSEN</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 10 Jul 2013 17:15:42 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Collaborative Charity</title><link>http://paulbuchheit.blogspot.com/2009/06/collaborative-charity.html#comment-927024300</link><description>&lt;p&gt;JUST ASK OF YOU GOOD HEART A SMALL DONATION TO CANCEL THE DEBT OF THE COLLEGE OF MY DAUGHTER ARE $ 2,000,000 PESOS COLOMBIAN AND DEPOSIT CAN DIRECTLY AT SCHOOL IN CHIA freinet CELESTIN CUNDINAMARCA coleguio COLOMBIA THE PHONE OF MY DAUGHTER IS 8633944 ON COLOMBIA IS GOD AND WE PAY THE TIMES PER MIL MIL MULTIPLEQUE WHAT CAN DO FOR MY MY CELL 3118629168 CREAME AM DESPERATE DO THIS WHY I LOVE MY DAUGHTER AND SHE IS A GOOD STUDENT IS ENDING HER LAST YEAR BACHELOR DEGREE 11 NO ME GET MORE AT THE SCHOOL.

Today, nonprofits face a reduction in grants; an economy that is stretching their nonprofit dollars to the max; an increase in demand for their services; all while trying to reach new donors in a very competitive industry. Nonprofits are trying very hard to "get the word out about what they do for others", while growing their organization for long-term success.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At &lt;a href="http://connecttocharity.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://connecttocharity.com/"&gt;Connect To Charity&lt;/a&gt;, our objective is to help nonprofits overcome these challenges.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Connecttocharity</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 10 Jan 2011 07:58:43 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Collaborative Charity</title><link>http://paulbuchheit.blogspot.com/2009/06/collaborative-charity.html#comment-114997985</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I vote for President Clinton's Foundation.

And to think "outside of the box". There is a an invisible group of working poor that don't get the advantages of standard charities. They don't qualify for the food or the christmas presents, etc.,&lt;br&gt;Churches usually know who these people are.  While food, clothes may be greatly appreciated, these people live paycheck to paycheck.  Gift cards to Walmart would be better.   &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">faye01</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:44:18 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Collaborative Charity</title><link>http://paulbuchheit.blogspot.com/2009/06/collaborative-charity.html#comment-21454582</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Dear Paul, thank you for an insightful discussion on choosing key charities. It's a continuing process to determine the 'right' charity.  I'd say it's a balance between both objective and subjective means.  UniversalGiving (&lt;a href="http://www.universalgiving.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.universalgiving.org"&gt;http://www.universalgiving.org&lt;/a&gt;) actually has a trademarked Quality Model that bases its vetting of each NGO from a venture capitalist perspective. We review business ideas and results; then, the next step is leadership review. We want to know the people.  So quality, then, is both objective and subjective.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Further, we go into terrorist vetting and other key compliance which is necessary on the international level.  But key to any review, we believe, must be qualitative and quantitative. It's not just about the numbers.  It's why many companies are using us for their Global CSR programs, because we vet the NGOs on these multiple layers, providing tremendous value and investment as we determine the right NGOs. In this way they can strategically expand their giving programs internationally, and therefore, their positive global brand.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pamela Hawley&lt;br&gt;Founder and CEO&lt;br&gt;UniversalGiving&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.universalgiving.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.universalgiving.org"&gt;http://www.universalgiving.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Living and Giving&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://pamelahawley.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://pamelahawley.wordpress.com"&gt;http://pamelahawley.wordpre...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">pamelahawley</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 30 Oct 2009 23:19:08 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Collaborative Charity</title><link>http://paulbuchheit.blogspot.com/2009/06/collaborative-charity.html#comment-17747754</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Wow.

A little different.  The aim is to get regular folks to do their project and to build a community of people donating $10 and voting up one project for funding per month.

At 77 he is 1 of 25 million people who will die prematurely in 2009. Many of this 25 million will have passed away unnecessarily due to lack of access to basic essentials such as food and medicines &lt;br&gt;Do you know that... &lt;br&gt;- 25,000 kids die each day as a result of extreme poverty&lt;br&gt;- &amp;gt;1 million people die each year from Malaria [approximately 60%  are children under 5]&lt;br&gt;- 25 million men/women and children have died from AIDs &lt;br&gt;and while we are all feeling the effects of the financial crisis, there are&lt;br&gt;- 2.5 billion people living on &amp;lt;$2 a day.. [it doesnt even get you a cup of coffee in NY]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In developing countries, approximately 2/3 of selected basic medicines are unavailabe in public health facilities resulting in these unnecessary deaths.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are many reasons for this lack of access but one of the biggest reasons are weak supply chains. Efficient supply chains not only ensure a continuous supply of medicines but effective use of funds, [which is very important in developing countries where funds are a scare commodity]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However efficient supply chain require data to be collected and analyzed so it can be used to make the informed decisions that drive the supply chain, ensuring the right food and medicines are forecasted, procured at the right price and delivered on time to the right place in the right condition&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Paul, it doesn't take alot of money to fix these issues through education and outreach. Some seed funding to develop and implement programs that not only save peoples lives through increased access but provides the local people the skills to manage supply chains that can be leveraged for other commodities thereby ensuring sustainability, increasing trade, jobs and the standard of living.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have seen first hand what can be done through the Clinton Foundation [CHAI] moving mountains to sustainable results quickly..&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">maevem</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 27 Aug 2009 21:49:32 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
