My personal message:
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!  I'm trying to raise $17K to build a school in Vietnam that will give the gift of education to 100s of children every year.

The top 10 donors to this page will have their names on a plaque on the door, and we can all visit the school in 6-12 months!  Cool, right?

Room to Read, the not-for-profit who will build it, will keep us posted on every step of construction, and their work was recently commended by Bill Clinton at his Clinton Global Initiative.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

Thanks for helping to change the world through education!

Tim
