Click your mouse, help an alum (and Peru, too)

From Katie Callaghan '03, who is currently interning in DC for the folks below as part of her graduate work. Pretty easy to do; last time I check it had 310 votes...

Coprodeli USA has submitted a proposal to the American Express Members Project for the opportunity to win $1MM! In total, they are giving $2.5 MM to the top 5 projects. Our funds will be used to construct a Center for Social Services in Ica, Peru and benefit 31,600 people through the services it will provide in education, health, and community support.

WE NEED YOUR VOTES! Of the 800 projects submitted, only the top 25 will go on for a second round of voting. You have until September 1 to help us make the next round - this is your chance to make a big difference!
