Dear Friends of Sara,

We are excited to tell you about Sara Metzler’s Peace Corps Partnership Program project. Since its inception in 1964, the Peace Corps Partnership Program has helped thousands of Peace Corps Volunteers implement community-initiated projects worldwide. Now Sara is taking on a new Furniture Construction project in Sierra Leone that needs your support.

This project, developed to address a pressing community need, will be implemented by both Sara and local partners. This project will benefit the people of the community for many years to come.

In order to begin implementation, Sara must raise $1,445.93 from friends, family and other interested donors. Sara and the people of the community are asking for your assistance to turn this project into a reality.  The easiest way to donate is to visit www.peacecorps.gov/donate and search by the project number, 636-013.   Although the web site is the quickest way to make a donation, you may also make a check payable to Peace Corps Partnership Program and send it to:

     Paul D. Coverdell Peace Corps Headquarters
     Peace Corps Partnership Program, OPSI
     1111 20th Street NW
     Washington DC 20526

 

Be sure to indicate the project number, 636-013, on the check so it will be applied to the correct project. Please note that due to security procedures, checks sent to Peace Corps via regular mail can take up to 4 weeks to reach their destination. We strongly recommend donors to send check payments through an expedited service such as FedEx or UPS as this will dramatically speed up the delivery process.

Also, if you’re looking for ways to make your donation go even farther, check with your employer to see if they have a matching gifts program; many companies match donations dollar for dollar. Furthermore, consider forwarding this email to anyone else who may be interested in supporting Sara. Remember that gifts supporting this project are tax-deductible!

Please feel free to contact our office directly at 202.692.2170 or 1.800.424.8580 x2170 with any questions you might have. Your support will go a long way to aid Sara’s efforts in Sierra Leone.

Best,
Caitlin Gliniecki
