In your words

Posted on October 2, 2009 by Minda Seibert

These are your words, Book Clubs! Below are some snippets from emails I've received from you. You are all inspiring and I admire your willingness to get involved by supporting Mercy Corps and the women we serve around the world.

"I believe "Half the Sky" is not only unleashing long-suppressed voices from the developing world but also repressed voices from the "First World." We all have our personal stories that — like a river — feed right into what Kristof and WuDunn are reporting."

- Maura in Ore.

" Greetings from Saudi Arabia! We are so thrilled to be a part of this initiative and know that untold and even unimagined benefits will result."

- Tricia in Saudi Arabia

"As American women we know how grateful we are for the opportunities and freedoms that have blessed us with life-long prosperity. I would like to find ways to share our abundance with our sisters around the world."

- Mary Jane in Mass.

I'm looking forward to hearing more of your stories, insights and inspirations! Best of luck in your fundraisers.

I am so excited to hear from
