HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AISHA!


As most of you have known that my birthday is coming up on April 21! I was just thinking, instead of you buying me lovely presents (which I’m sure most of you will. lol!), why don’t you donate and support Valentino Achak Deng Foundation as an alternative!
I want to invite you joining me in helping to build schools in Southern Sudan. Due to civil war between the North and the South, Sudan has been torn to pieces. This affect in their education system! So let’s rebuild Southern Sudan and encourage Sudanese children to attend school, become educated!

Below is a link to Valentino Achak Deng Foundation web page where you can make an online contribution. You may go to “Donate” at the center of the page and fill out the necessary information. You may write follow up email to info@valentinoachakdeng.org letting them know that you donate in honor of Aisha Parlindungan’s Birthday. (If you want to remain anonymous, that’s fine with me.)

If you prefer to make your donation by mail, you may make a check payable to Valentino Achak Deng Foundation and submit it to me. Once I receive all of the checks, I will mail them out myself. Please indicate in your correspondence or on your check if you are making a ONE-TIME GIFT or if you want to become a Recurring Donor (The payment will repeat on a monthly recurrence on an ongoing basis.)

However, if you wish to mail the check on your own, below is the address:

The Valentino Achak Deng Foundation
849 Valencia St.
San Francisco, CA 94110

Personally, education is very essential in every area of my life. I have worked and juggled multiple jobs to pay my own college tuition which is a very hard thing to do! (Especially, if you have other responsibilities to look after) These children in Southern Sudan do need your help.

Every amount, no matter how small, makes a difference and provides hope for these children. I would not have any access to maintain the donation, so I would appreciate it if you inform me once you contribute to Valentino Achak Deng Foundation. Thank you for all of your support and kindness. Your contribution is greatly appreciated.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart
...and Happy Birthday to me! :) :) :)
