YOU START THE GIRL EFFECT
The Blossom Bus:Help Rural Girls Get To School!
http://www.globalgiving.org/ projects/the-blossom-bus/
Lotus Outreach:http://www. lotusoutreach.org/
Help Lotus Outreach, of which Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche is Board Chairman:
Lotus Outreach has been selected to participate in the first ever Girl Effect Challenge. In the next 30 days, we will compete with approximately 50 other organizations around the world to become one of six beneficiaries of the Girl Effect Fund, a collective giving pool that has raised nearly $700,000 to date!
By becoming a Girl Effect partner, we will not only receive significant financial support for our Blossom Bus project in 2012, but we will also get critical exposure to Girl Effect fans around the world.
From Lotus Outreach Site:
〝Khyentse Norbu also oversees six branches of Siddhartha’s Intent, contemporary teaching and practice centers distributed over several continents, as well as the non-profit organizations Khyentse Foundation and Lotus Outreach.〞
Lotus Outreach is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring the education, health and safety of vulnerable women and children in the developing world.
Originally established to support refugee education, Lotus Outreach now also helps rehabilitate survivors of human trafficking and keep at-risk students in school. We support this mission through effective grassroots projects, particularly among the rural poor.
We have exciting news!

Need proof that this will make a difference? The Girl Effect has 17,500 followers on Twitter, 260,000 "likes" on Facebook and nearly 1,000,000 views on YouTube! And it isn't hard to see why the Girl Effect is so popular:watch this video to learn why.
We can't win without your help.
Between now and November 15, our Blossom Bus project must recruit as many unique donors as possible. We are asking all of our supporters to give just $10 during this time period to help us win the competition. Every donation raised during this period will not only bring us one step closer to our dream of partnering with Girl Effect, but will ensure adolescent girls in Mewat, India can safely return to school. By providing bus transportation, we will help many of these girls escape childhood marriage and become the first girls to reach high school in the history of their villages!
Already given to the Blossom Bus? First, thank you! The good news is that any donation made within the challenge period will count as "unique" so please consider giving again.
Help us go guerrilla!
