Dear All,
I am a core team member of SEALNet Project Philippines 2009. SEALNet (Southeast Asian Service Leadership Network) is a non-profit organization based in California and was founded at Stanford in 2004 by a coalition of Stanford students and professional mentors. Our mission is to bring service to Southeast Asia and to promote the spirit of service leadership in the region. On behalf of SEALNet, I am writing to seek your support for our 2-week community service project in Cebu City, the Philippines.
Project Philippines 2009 aims to educate the Cebu City community about the public health implications of gastrointestinal worms. We plan to conduct a variety of health education events targeting both elementary school students as well as their parents and teachers. In addition, we will conduct workshops to equip the local youth with practical leadership and organizational skills. We will also facilitate the local youth in designing and implementing their own projects to address local health issues of their interests. The National Institutes of Health, one of the largest non-profit organizations in the Philippines, kindly agreed to be our local partner. They will facilitate our work on the site and will assist us in ensuring the future sustainability of the projects. Attached with this email are the project details.
Currently, we are seeking sponsorship from various local and international philanthropists to finance our project. We therefore would love to have your support for Project Philippines 2008. Therefore, all your contributions will go directly towards benefiting the children, the local youth, and the community of Cebu City.
More information about SEALNet can be found at www.sealnetonline.org. Contributions of any amount (tax-deductible) would be very much appreciated and you will receive a trip report after the project as well as SEALNet Annual Reports in the future. Please let me know if you would be interested in contributing to our project.
Thank you very much for your kind attention and I look forward to hearing from you.
