Siden hun bor avsides til på landsbygda i Mali, fikk hun aldri den muligheten – før nå!

Speed School er hurtigskole for kunnskapshungrige barn. Etter 9 måneder på Speed School kan hun fortsette i 4. klasse på vanlig skole.

Det koster ikke mye å gi et barn fremtiden tilbake. For 1306 kr får en elev det som skal til.

Din donasjon gir barn som Fenda fremtiden tilbake i løpet av 9 intense måneder. Takk for din gave.

Vi ønsker å invitere inn kjente artister til en annerledes ettermiddag til glede for de som er på Sykehuset.

En støtte vil være med på å gi de som kjemper for det vi andre tar for gitt en hyggelig motivasjon til å komme seg videre etter en alvorlig skade.

I høst fikk vi et samarbeid med Hippie Media og Partnership For Change, i tillegg til at vi vant Wenche Foss’ ærespris og delte den med selveste Rolv Wesenlund.

Vi arbeider nå hardt med å videreutvikle tjenesten slik at den blir optimal både for organisasjoner og private brukere. Vi samarbeider med 10 organisasjoner i Norge som vil ta i bruk MyGoodAct aktivt fra og med 15. februar, og vi relanserer tjenesten i operaen den 20. mars på Partnership for Change-konferansen.

Vi ønsker alle organisasjoner velkommen til å ta i bruk MyGoodAct. Om man har spørsmål rundt tjenesten er det bare å ta kontakt med daglig leder Jonas Borchgrevink på jonas@mygoodact.org.

Her er en nylig artikkel fra Innsamlingsrådet om MyGoodAct og relanseringen: http://www.innsamlingsradet.no/article.aspx?cat=11236&id=246267

It makes me more motivated to continue my work with MyGoodAct and it certainly will be positive for further development of our organization. I have had some tough periods myself and many problems to solve regarding MyGoodAct, but now the puzzle is beginning to fall in place. Thank you alot!!”
