I talked to our global regional coordinator on Tuesday night. The news (embargoed until next Monday) of microcredit reaching one hundred million people worldwide by 2007 is phenomenal! Kathy Hall agreed to attach her name to an op-ed on this news for The Gazette. I'm going to write a press release tonight to go to tv and radio stations. This could be the beginning of the end of poverty. Blows my mind!
Today I talked to our domestic regional coordinator. SCHIP has passed the House and is out of the Senate Finance Committee and ready for debate on the Senate floor. Monday night after our meeting I faxed 12 letters -- 7 to Senator Grassley and 5 to Senator Harkin, thanking them for their support of SCHIP.
Wednesday I put together information for the remaining pages of our website and sent it off to Mohamed Soliman. Soon we'll be able to reference our website in our letters, op-eds, press releases, the list goes on. We'll put the microcredit news on the website Monday.
If you haven't already done so, please go to the RESULTS website, www.results.org, and click on Donation Center. You'll be able to make your annual contribution of $35 to RESULTS there rather than writing a check and giving it to me.
