Henderson spoke at the GWAMIT Spring Empowerment Conference (Friday
speaker). Her organization, Mina's List, is part of a fundraising
competition. Please consider helping out if ou can! </i><br><br>I am so excited to let you know that <a href="http://www.minaslist.org/" target="_blank">Mina’s List</a>
has made it through the first round of a Women Startup Competition
sponsored by Crowdrise. We have already started building momentum with
this campaign, and if we stay in the top 25 for overall funds raised,
we’ll be invited to compete for the grand prize of $50,000. This would
be huge for Mina’s List and our work. It would mean we could expand
programming beyond our Afghanistan Pilot Project to other regions of the
world. We have already had requests for Mina’s List services in several
countries across the globe. <br><br>Mina’s List needs your help. Every dollar you <b>donate </b>or<b> help us raise</b> will get us closer to our goal. It's quick and easy and there are <b>two ways</b> to help.<br><br><b>If you can donate,</b> it takes 1 minute. Go to the <a href="https://www.crowdrise.com/MinasList-WomenStartup2015" target="_blank">Mina’s List Crowdrise page</a> and give what you can. Thank you in advance!<br><br><b>If you want to ask your friends and family to donate</b>,
it takes 3 minutes to set up a team member page, and then all you need
to do is send an email similar to this one (personalized of course) to
all your friends and family who might give to a cause that you care
about. Just visit the <a href="https://www.crowdrise.com/MinasList-WomenStartup2015" target="_blank">Mina’s List Crowdrise page</a> and then click “Fundraise for This Startup.” In minutes, you can share your enthusiasm and the link to the <a href="https://www.crowdrise.com/MinasList-WomenStartup2015" target="_blank">Mina’s List Crowdrise page</a>
with everyone you know. Imagine the impact we can all have together if
you get your colleagues, friends, and family to contribute to Mina’s
List. Thank you for taking this extra step to help spread the word.<br><br>Every contribution makes a big difference, no matter how small.<br><br>Please read our 'Story' on the <a href="https://www.crowdrise.com/MinasList-WomenStartup2015" target="_blank">Mina’s List Crowdrise home page</a>-- it’s short and could be helpful if you want to explain our work to others.<br><br>We
are super excited about this competition and we know you are a fan of
our work. Thank you for your continued support and for helping us to
bring our expertise, training model, and resources to the women who will
change the world. <br> <i><br></i></span></div><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="color:rgb(153,0,0)"><b><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="color:rgb(153,0,0)"></span></span></b></span></span></font></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="color:rgb(153,0,0)"><b>14.
