b>4-H Tsunami Relief Fund
The following letter is being distributed throughout the 4-H system:
The 4-H Tsunami Relief Fund has been created at the request of numerous 4-H members, volunteers and leaders as a nationwide 4-H program appeal for volunteer monetary donations. The 4-H tsunami relief fund has been established through a combined effort of the 4-H International Programs Committee, the International 4-H Youth Exchange Association of the USA (IFYE), the IFYE Foundation and the National 4-H Council.
The fund will be managed by the National 4-H Council with 100 percent of all donations directed to relief efforts in an attempt to ease suffering, aid recovery and minimize displacement of those affected by the devastating tsunami in December 2004.
The funds will be designated to an international relief organization chosen by the youth of 4-H through an online poll at the interactive website, 4HUSA.ORG (www.4husa.org). The poll question is:
4-H donations for tsunami relief should be given to:
Project Hope
Save the Children
UNICEF
Credit Card contributions may be made over the telephone by calling the National 4-H Council at 1-301-961-2817 between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. EDT.
Clubs, volunteers, parents, agents, staff, etc. can send checks written to National 4-H Council (tsunami relief fund) directly to:
National 4-H Council
Attn: Tsunami Relief Fund
7100 Connecticut Ave.
Chevy Chase, MD 20815
Contributions will be accepted through Monday, February 21, 2005. All funds collected will be distributed to the relief agency chosen by the youth of 4-H.
Thank you for helping in this very important relief effort.
Sincerely,
Patreese Ingram, Chair
4-H International Program Committee
