We need your support to meet our goal of bringing
elementary level books written in Spanish to students who are taking care
of Monarch butterflies in Mexico. These students are in schools
located in poor rural areas with limited educational resources. Your
generous contribution will make it possible for Monarchs Across Georgia
(MAG), a committee of the Environmental Education Alliance of Georgia (EEA),
to bring much-needed educational materials to these deserving children.
In an effort to generate awareness and understanding
between two cultures through the study of Monarchs, MAG is coordinating
its fifth annual trip to Mexico. The week long trip includes a visit to
schools that are in “butterfly country.” As you may be aware, this
incredible insect migrates as far as 2000 miles from the southern borders
of Canada and from all parts east of the Rocky Mountains to over-winter in
the trans-volcanic mountain range of Mexico.
Please consider making a donation to the
Environmental Education Alliance (EEA) designating it to the “MAG Book
Project.” Your check can be mailed to the address noted below.
As a reference, books generally cost about $5.00 in
American currency. Your gift will make it possible for us to pre-order
books through Scholastic Mexico. Scholastic Mexico allows us to purchase
these books at a 30% discount and ships them at no charge to our hotel in
Morelia so that we will be able to hand-deliver them to the students
during our visit.
In appreciation for your
donation, a bookplate with your name (or one designated by you) will be
attached to the inside cover. We will also recognize donors by publishing
their names on our website at
www.monarchsacrossga.org.
Receipts will be provided upon request.
The deadline for these tax-deductible donations is
January 12, 2008.
Thank you for your support! If you have any
questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. |
