5.	RAISING FUNDS FOR GIRLS’ EDUCATION – Letter from
Maureen Daniel (RPCV-Costa Rica)

Dear Sacramento RPCV’s!

I would love to see if you can help a very special
organization with an extra special fundraiser that
will be going on for the rest of May and June and that
will impact women and girls living around the world!

This is a special virtual fundraiser where just one
song will change theworld and all proceeds from the
download of this song will go to supportscholarships
that go to women and girls living in economically
depressed
communities around the world.

The organization is called the Global Scholarship Fund
(GSF) and it is a non-profit, 100% volunteer run
organization I founded in 2003 when I returned from my
Peace Corps service in Costa Rica. The GSF was formed 
To empower, promote and inspire women and girls to
dream and realize their potential no matter what their
economic status is.

Today we have scholarship recipients studying in their
countries in South Africa, India, Ecuador, Costa Rica,
the United States and Columbia. Our scholars are
resilient young women who are courageously bettering
their lives and affecting change in their communities.

The song that will inspire this global education
revolution is called"UNCOMFORTABLE SKIN". It is a song
by LA singer/songwriter Jared Young, who is generously
donating 100% of the profits to the GSF. With your 
Help and the help of the Sacramento RPCV’s, this
amazing song will change lives with 100% of the sales
going to the volunteer-run Global Scholarship Fund.
For just 99 cents music still can change the world.

To download "UNCOMFORTABLE SKIN", visit

You can also check learn more about the Global
Scholarship Fund at www.globalscholarshipfund.org.

Thank you so much and I hope this message can inspire
some new downloads and a brighter future for girls and
women in India!

Warmest Wishes,

Maureen Daniel
Executive Director & Founder

6.	Chris Delcher (RPCV El Salvador, 1998-2000) is
trying to find the maps and mapmakers of the Peace
Corps. Many Volunteers are trained to make community
maps while in service. These maps range from the
hand-drawn variety that live in tattered journals to
very sophisticated maps created with digital
Geographic Information Systems. Chris' own hand-drawn
maps focused on pubic health by displaying the problem
of minimal latrine coverage in his town but volunteers
from all Peace Corps programs are using maps for many
reasons. No matter the size or sophistication, if you
have a map (or even a picture of you next to a map
that you have created) from your service or know an
RPCV that does, please contact Chris at
cddelcher@comcast.net. You can visit the growing
collection www.chrisdelcher.carbonmade.com
