This week, my family and I are in Malawi to attend the ground breaking ceremony for Raising Malawi Academy for Girls.
I am making a straightforward request.
I'm writing to urge you to join me in saving the lives of some of the world's most vulnerable children. And I'm asking you to do it right away.
Raising Malawi, the organization I co-founded in 2006, is dedicated to ending the poverty and hardship endured by Malawi's one million orphans. By donating to Raising Malawi, you can literally transform the future for an entire generation. To encourage your involvement, I've pledged $100,000 to match your contributions dollar-for-dollar.
Why Malawi?
Seven years ago I might have asked myself this very same question. Why not Afghanistan, or India? There are impoverished children, desperate for health care and education, everywhere in the world. Something about Malawi's children connected with me and their hardships were too much for me to ignore. So I started learning more about Malawi, and, little by little, I began working with Malawians to improve their communities.
Visiting Malawi can be a very humbling experience. In the face of such overwhelming challenges, it's easy to feel helpless. At the same time, it is impossible not to recognize how much we can do to improve the lives of vulnerable children. Right now, I am particularly concerned about Malawian girls whose lives are made even more difficult simply because of their gender.
In 2008 Raising Malawi announced the creation of an all-girls boarding school, the Raising Malawi Academy for Girls. Architects have drawn up plans. We've identified a plot of land. And some of Malawi's poorest girls are eager for the opportunities that a comprehensive secondary education will bring them. But we're still in need of additional funds to complete this project, and there's no time to lose.
My own daughters will each have a solid secondary education. They have a family that assures them that they can be anything they want to be, that they are not limited in any way. I believe that the same should be true for girls in every part of the world, regardless of the circumstances of their birth. The girls of Malawi are bright and resourceful. They are eager to learn and grow. When I look at my girls and see them thriving, it is my greatest wish that the girls in Malawi will have the same chance for happiness.
This is where you come in.
Please join me in supporting the work of Raising Malawi. Every dollar we collect will make a huge difference in a child's life. By matching your donation, dollar for dollar, I will personally ensure that your contribution has an even greater impact. That's a promise.
This is my call to you: Give an opportunity to a child who would otherwise have none. Support the work of Raising Malawi.
Will you join me?
Universal Studios announced the official opening of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park!
Coming in Spring 2010, you can visit the world of Harry Potter including Hogsmeade Station, Owlery, and of course, Hogwarts, which will be the new parks main attraction and is described as "much more than a roller coaster."

More than 800 exhibitors at the Göteborg Book Fair cover all sectors of the book trade. The exhibitors include Swedish and international publishers, libraries, schools and universities, municipalities, different kinds of organisations, museums, antiquarians and the media, to name just a few.There are also a number of seminars and readings led by some the world's best-loved authors. Nowhere else you will meet such a gathering of the Swedish and other Nordic literary world as at the Göteborg Book Fair.
