мека мебелThe welcome193 campaign is using the power of social media to turn this global news event into a world wide show of support for the people of South Sudan as they celebrate their first independence day. On July 9, with your support, we aim to generate 10 million individual hellos from people all over the world in a collective welcome to the South Sudanese. At the same time, the Welcome193 web portal will connect people to opportunities to learn about South Sudan and non-profit organizations working to build the foundations of the new country.

A2Empowerment is a Somerville-based nonprofit company dedicated to empowering women through education. Since its founding in 2008, the company has awarded over 150 scholarships to young women in Cameroon. The project is coordinated by A2Empowerment and Peace Corps Volunteers working in Cameroon. Recipients are chosen by A2Empowerment based on need and merit. In 2011, approximately $65 USD will cover tuition, fees and books for a year of school. The project is set up as a Peace Corps Partnership Project, so all funding is strictly monitored by the Peace Corps and A2Empowerment. To date, all company overhead costs have been covered by the company co-founders, allowing for the full amount of all donations to be put toward scholarships.
