So is the United Nations Population Fund to which the Bush Administration has refused to release $34 million every year. Thus in 2002 we started the wonderful grassroots 34 Million Friends of UNFPA, www.34millionfriends.org We are asking people to take a stand with at least one dollar. So far we've raised a lovely $3.835 million for women's health, reproductive health, family planning, education, and gender equity. Support Madre and send at least one dollar to 34 Million Friends. OUr web site is quite wonderful Cheers, Jane ROberts, cofounder Hi, Madre is wonderful.

Our grass roots national giving circle combines education- about issues women face such as violence, gender inequality, illiteracy, economic instability, etc, and education about organizations like Madre', with the power of collective giving. Our chapters, small intimate groups of women, meet monthly to connect with each other, learn about issues affecting women, and make a donation to the featured program of the month. In this way, we are addressing the problem of having accurate information and finding a way to make connections with people, both of which Yifat Susskind mentioned in her interview. Dining for Women offers a way to bring the issues and organizations addressing them into the living rooms of average women across the country. Our goal is to educate our members about how they can change the world by supporting organizations like Madre' with their individual donations, which, when combined with others from around the country each month, add up to a significant amount and make a tremendous difference to the porgrams doing the work to change the lives of women worldwide.
