I Love My SSU in Malawi!!!!!

Greetings Family and Friends,

Vera Nazarian says, “Whenever you read a good book, somewhere in the world a door opens to allow in more light.” I understand that children need to receive this light no matter where they are or what types of resources they have. My book I Love My SSU! has been a light for many children in the US, and now I would like for it to be a light for children in Lilongwe, Malawi. Through the Auburn University College of Education’s Destination Malawi education program, I will be traveling to Malawi from May 24- June16, 2013. During this time, I will serve the children of the Mtendere Village as a teacher, after-school athletic facilitator, and most importantly a friend. The Mtendere Village, established by the 100x Development Foundation,  provides a home and a family environment that many of its orphans and vulnerable children have never experienced.  I would like to extend that family expression by sharing I Love My SSU! with the village.

With your help I will be able to extend the reach of not only Auburn University and Savannah State University, but also strengthen and expand the aspirations of hope that will develop in the lives of the children.  Your tax-deductible donation will cover the cost of the books and insure the books are properly transported and delivered to the children in Malawi. Your donations will also contribute to the “We Are Rising” (tentative name) Scholarship I plan to establish at Savannah State University for its students. The scholarship is targeted at students with grade point averages that range from 2.0-2.99; a group of students frequently ineligible for most available scholarships.

For more information on your donation, please visit 100x Development Foundation.  This link will take you to the online donation portion of 100x Development Foundation’s website. Select how you plan to get involved: Individual*, Corporation, Non-Profits, or Organization. Click the Yellow “Give Now” tab. Once you enter your email, click the “This is my first time making a contribution” tab. Follow that by clicking “Get Started.” You will have to input your 1) Personal information, 2) Contribution Type and Amount (designation: general gift), and **most importantly** 3) Notes. In the Notes section please input “Desmond Delk’s I Love My SSU!”. From there, you can complete the credit card information and confirmation. I am grateful for any amount that you can provide. 

If you would like to forgo the tax-deduction and connect directly with me, my email address isDesmondWDelk@gmail.com.

I thank you in advance for the support through your prayers, well wishes and kind words.

Sincerely,

Desmond W. Delk
