Dear Ms. Fallone,
As you might have heard, we held our successful Interactive Skype Video Session earlier this month with a Night School in Bihar and an 8th Grade World Cultures Class.
Every year since beginning our campaign for change and formally striking our relationship between The Haverford School and The Barefoot College, we made it a point to raise awareness in my community and use this momentum to fund-raise; proceeding to call it Phase 1 and 2, respectively.
This year, with your help and support, I would like to embark on something a tad different.
Along with fundraising, I feel the next step is to start a ‘Barefoot Youth Group’ which can be a real sector/initiative of the Barefoot College (similar to Friends of Barefoot College). This would allow us to culminate a group of young successors and would give us the platform to fund-raise and instill awareness on a much larger scale in many school communities.
Thank you and please let me know your thoughts.
I would really like to make this a real part of the Barefoot College.

This is a wonderful and much appreciated initiative.Please work directly with Lawrence in copy and Lauren Remedios to get this launched through our US based 501c3
Thank You again and yes I watch all the videos of the interactive skype session and have shared them last week when I spoke in Singapore at the IB international conference session.
After meeting with the IB bored I am going to be drafting a 10 day stay at Barefoot specifically for High School students doing Community Service projects internationally. I wonder if you would be interested to be part of a small group within Barefoot who will be working on this? I am sure your ideas and inputs would be really welcome and essential if we are to draft something meaningful and relevant for young people.
Please let me know
Warmest,Meagan
