Editor,
The UNM chapter of Nourish International is in its first year, but it’s off to a great start.
Nourish aims to combat global poverty one community at a time. Nourish International at UNM is partnering with Casa de la Mujer, an organization in Nicaragua, to build and repair houses that are sold to women heads-of-household at little cost.
Among several fundraising methods, we are competing in the Nourish Challenge at GlobalGiving.org. If we win, our project receives additional funding that will increase its impact. We are currently in second place, just behind founding chapter University of North Carolina and significantly ahead of Stanford University, which is in third.
This is a high achievement, and UNM should be proud.
Everyone is encouraged to check out our project and donate. With the assistance of the UNM community, we can win this and better help families in need. Go to GlobalGiving.org and type “UNM Nourish” in the search bar.
