Help us end poverty for the poorest of the poor villages in Southern Gansu. Together we can make it possible for up to 500 families to receive walnut saplings and other cash crops that will enable them to progressively rise above the poverty line. We start planting trees in April 2011 and then again in September. US$200 is all it takes to set a family on their way to a poverty free future. We are 80% on the way to our funding goal, but still need funding for 100 families. Check out this 4 minute DVD for details. If you can help a family, please click this link and donate US$200 to end poverty for an entire family. We’ll keep you updated on how things progress. http://www.captivating.org/region/project/13
