follow up

an update from a small donation i made a while ago. nice that they kept me in the loop and will make me do it again with them. amazing how many brands don't follow up and continue the conversation.

Dear Scott,

Remember way back when when you bought your travel insurance with WorldNomads.com? We were thrilled that you also chose to make a micro-donation to one of the global poverty-alleviation projects in our Footprints charity program:
"Distributing food to vulnerable families," in the Chiredzi district, Zimbabwe.

We thought you'd like to know that your small contribution, combined with thousands of others did make a huge difference.

Food totalling over 8,865 MT was distributed to over 206,000 people in Chiredzi between October 2008 and March 2009, covering the period when food insecurity was at its worst. The majority of people receiving the food rations were children under 5 and children aged between 5 and 18 years old.

We'd like to share the full report with you here, including a case study about 12 year old Tshameleni who, along with her three siblings, benefited from this food distribution program:

Footprints and project partner, Plan Australia thank-you for your one-off contribution.
