At Any Given Moment You can provide an opportunity... You can lend a hand... You can uplift another person...
The MDRT Foundation
is partnering with the Stephen Lewis Foundation, a charitable organization that provides financial assistance, comfort and hope to
people affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa.
The 2008 Million Dollar Promise Appeal: “At Any Given Moment” is the MDRT Foundation’s fundraising appeal designed to drive an
annual goal of granting more than $1 million to charities worldwide. The MDRT Foundation is encouraging all MDRT members to
donate $100 or more to the Promise Appeal to support income-generating projects for grandmothers throughout Africa.
Your gift will help these resilient matriarchs provide food, shelter, medical and school supplies for millions of children orphaned by the
HIV/AIDS pandemic in Africa. Donations to this appeal will also support hundreds of other charitable organizations funded by the MDRT Foundation’s
member-driven grant programs.

Little Traveller is hand-beaded by women affected by HIV/AIDS in South Africa, as part of an income-generating project
