Thanks Janette. There is more information on Opportunity International’s website about this project http://www.opportunity.org.au/home.asp?pageid=B9393EBC444FCC91 and about Trust Banks (PDF)

I plan to launch a new creative challenge this week so yes, it will be a good idea to also create a post/page specifically about the $10k Trust bank on the Women’s Investment blog, thanks Janette.

Congratulations Jasmin! Please advise if you have a like a project document that states how the US$10k will be handled. Perhaps this will help spark more contributions.

Hi Gavin, thanks! It was such a privilege to coordinate this slideshare project. So far I have raised AU$380 out of my $10,000 – all online donation. All I need is around 600 more people around the world to donate US$10 each by the end of June!

thanks Andy
Of course, I look back now and think I could have done it better. But I’m really pleased the 25 other women took part and that Amy contributed her photos. All I did was ask for participation and stitch it together! Now to raise some funds!

Robyn, Amy and Nina – thank YOU for your very special contributions. Each one of you took a moment to reflect on opportunities for women to invest and wrote something inspiring. Together, you created something extraordinary.

These women in the Philippines, and others around the world who live in poverty, will benefit from the contributions of people who donate to programs like Opportunity International.

The group of women who benefit from the funds raised by this project will embark on a two year program where they support one another, invest their talents in building their small businesses (funded by the project) and change the quality of their lives dramatically. Thank you.
