The Rachel Corrie Rebuilding Campaign in Gaza has been nominated for a GlobalGiving.com competition. Through January 27th, at www.globalgiving.com, people throughout the world can vote online and rate the entries they deem best.
The Gaza project is one of only two in the Human Rights category. 15 semifinalists chosen through open ratings will present their work at the Global Philanthropy Forum on Borderless Giving in March, where three winners will share $100,000 in project grants.
The Rachel Corrie Rebuilding Campaign, a project of The Rebuilding Alliance, starts by building for the Nasrallahs, the family that Rachel Corrie stood to safeguard when she was killed by the Caterpillar D9R bulldozer sent to demolish their home.
The Rebuilding Alliance hopes this Campaign will touch the hearts of readers and move them to take their own small step — one that may raise awareness in their own circles of influence. Help us prevent the demolition of hundreds more homes in Rafah and reaffirm the right of all children to live safely and peacefully in their own homes.
To join the effort and to rate the Rachel Corrie Rebuilding Campaign in Gaza, go to www.globalgiving.com/cb/gpf/pr/1000/proj929a.html.
Read more about the project and when ready, click on the “Rate It” button. “10″ is the highest score and means “fantastic, great, high impact.” But rating the project or even winning the contest won’t be enough to achieve that “high impact goal.” Your action, in concert with all who would build and not destroy — that’s what really counts. When you are ready, begin.
Support homeless families. “Rate It 10″ here! [source: PalestineBlogs.com]
