Newsletter: Discover the Thrill of Fundraising
Find out just how fun & easy fundraising can be!
At The Great Generation we realise that whilst you’re all geared up to go on one our volunteering projects - sometimes the challenging bit can be the fundraising. This is why we decided to kick off 2010 with a newsletter focusing on making it easy and fun for you!
http://www.thegreatgeneration.org/newsletter/newsletter-March-2010/news_update/news_update.html
We’d love you take a look at our latest video http://www.vimeo.com/9684707 and hope you get a thrill of what volunteering can be like - how rewarding and enjoyable it can be. When you begin your fundraising you may want to send a link to this video to give your friends and family just a taste of what you’ll be doing and where you’ll be.
If it's the fundraising that's stopped you from signing up then we hope that this newsletter serves as a bit of inspiration to get you one step closer to finding yourself teaching English in Jordan, running parenting workshops in India or helping to create a garden in Uganda.
