Wanted: Angels with a Heart!

We are looking for a group of 10-15 committed individuals for our inaugural Angels with a Heart group to make a real difference in our organization. Angels each commit to raising $1,000 a year for GSM. You can host an event in your home (brochures & slide shows provided), sell lovely crafts from our Women’s Training Program, invite friends to GSM celebrations—or come up with your own creative way to raise funds.

Angels are not limited to New York residents.

Thanks to the Lower East Side Girls Club for connecting us with Amanda Ashcraft who is serving as the volunteer coordinator for our Angels. Contact her at GSMangels@gmail.com for more information.

Tthe International Rotary working with the Corning, New York club and the Bhaktapur, Nepal club has awarded us a $12,000 grant to install a security system, outdoor lights, and panic buttons in our house and compound.
