请捐助十美元,帮OCEF赢得五万美元大奖,资助失学儿童重返校园!
亲爱的朋友:
海外中国教育基金会(Overseas China Education Foundation, OCEF)是一群海外学子于1992年创办的民间组织,是在美国注册的非宗教性,非政治性慈善团体,OCEF的唯一宗旨是帮助中国国内贫困地区的孩子接受教育。OCEF至今资助了两万六千多人次(每学期每生计为一人次)的贫困中小学生,以及2000多人次贫困优秀高中生上学读书。仅去年一年,基金会就资助了5977名贫困中小学生,1089名贫困优秀高中生,196名贫困教师,并资助兴建了4所学校校舍和26个农村学校图书室。OCEF的所有工作人员均为无偿工作的义工,去年的营运费用仅为捐款总额的4%。受今年经济危机影响,我们上半年的捐款总数只有去年同期的42%,许多助学项目可能因此受到影响,从而减少资助规模和力度,这是我们不愿意看到的。$50美元就可以帮助这些孩子走进课堂,我们希望能帮助更多的孩子。
我们也在尽我们所能扩大宣传和捐款。OCEF参加了今年Facebook举办的America's Giving Challenge慈善募捐竞赛。此次活动鼓励更多的人关注慈善团体,在一个月的竞赛中,捐款人次最多的慈善团体将赢得$50,000的大奖,每天捐款人次前两位的组织还将赢得$1,000和$500的日奖。整
个活动于10月7日开始,并将于11月6日结束。
OCEF在10月17日才参加此次活动,但是在各位热心朋友的支持下,很快脱颖而出,捐款人数达到3,700多人次,捐款金额超过5,4万美元,累计赢得了七天第一以及两天第二,并在总排行榜上位居第一。如果我们可以保持领先到11月6日,我们就可以为乡村孩子们赢得最终的5万美元大奖,这也意味着我们能多帮助一千名失学儿童重返校园。但是,有些慈善团体在美国主流社会影响巨大,虽然参赛晚,但是上升势头强劲,OCEF现在的优势并不能保证我们最后可以取得冠军,我们需要广大热心朋友的支持。
捐款无需Facebook账号,只需访问
http://apps.facebook.com/causes/ocef,
点击绿色的"donate"按钮,选择捐款额,然后用信用卡完成捐款即可。特别需要注意的是,每人每天只能捐款一次,每次最低捐款10美元。在这里“天”指的是美国东部时间下午3点(美西时间中午12点)到第二日下午3点。此次活动是按最终捐款人次而非金额来排定名次的,所以如果您想捐助20美元以上的话,我们希望您可以把捐款数目分成$10一次,多捐几天,这样可以增加我们的捐款次数,更好地帮忙我们赢得大奖。本次活动的常见问题请见

如果您能推动您周围的人对此次活动进行关注及参与,我们将会有更大的把握在竞赛中获胜,从而让更多的孩子受益。请把本信forward给您的同学,朋友和其他您认为合适的热心人,让更多的人加入我们,让大家一起参与!
捐出10美元,您就可能让一个穷孩子走进课堂,从而改变他/她的命运。而5万美元,就可以帮助1,000个孩子实现读书的梦想。我们希望您捐出$10美元,帮助他们上学受教育,走出实现美好明天的第一步!

Dear friends,
Overseas China Education Foundation (OCEF) was founded in 1992 by a group of students in America; it is registered as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. OCEF is non-governmental, non-religious, and non-partisan; our sole mission is to afford basic education to ecconomically disadvantaged children in rural China. Since its inception, OCEF has sponsored more than 26,000 Grade 1-9 students and over 2,000 high school students. Last year alone, the foundation has helped 5,977 children to attend primary and secondary schools and 1089 children to attend high schools. We have also supplemented the income of 196 teachers and built 4 schools, 26 libraries in poor rural areas.
OCEF is run in entirety by volunteers; no one in the organization receives a single penny in compensation. The operating expense for last year accounts for just 4% of the donations. Due to the global economic recession, donations in the first half of 2009 fell by 58% compared to the same period last year; many projects could be adversely impacted. We especially do not want to see sponsored children dropping out of school. $50 a year or just 13.7 cents per day can keep a child in school. With your support, we hope to change the lives of even more children.
We are participating in the America's Giving Challenge. It is a 30-day national campaign to encourage participation in charitable causes. The participant with the highest number of unique daily donations from 10/07 to 11/06 wins the grand prize of $50,000. There are also two daily awards: $1,000 to the cause with the most unique donations and $500 to the second place.
OCEF entered the competition late on 10/17, but with the support from people like you, we have received over 3,700 donations for more than $54,000. We have won 9 daily prizes and are currently the leader of the overall challenge. The competition is becoming more intense with several causes surging in recent days, we need your help to maintain our lead and to win the grand prize. $50,000 can keep 1,000 children in poor rural areas in schools; we want it, they need it.
To donate to our cause, please visit http://apps.facebook.com/causes/ocef and click the "Donate" button, select the amount and enter credit card information; you do not need a Facebook account. If you want to contribute more than the minimum $10, we ask that you maximize the impact of your donation by making a $10 donation on multiple days. Note that one day is defined as from 3pm to 3pm the next day Eastern Standard Time, 12pm Pacific time.
We hope you share our compassion to help poor children goto school and to give them a better future by donating to our cause and forwarding this letter to all your frends and family. Thank you for your generosity, together we can make a difference!
