Greetings everyone!
I have so much wonderful news to share with you that I don't know where to begin! In some way, over the past 20 years, you have been involved with nonprofit artistic circles and our social media projects. Our current project is the Water Pressures video documentary and educational exchange between India and the U.S.I'm writing to you for two reasons
- To invite you to view our new website at artistic circles.
- To ask you please to make a donation for the Water Pressures projects
Through the Water Pressures documentary, we are working to build an educational and social action network between water-rich and water-poor parts of the world. College students are taking a leadership role. Students from Northwestern University (in Evanston, IL) will join me and our video crew for an intensive Scholars Program in Integrated Water Resource Management at the Jal Bhagirathi Foundation in Jodhpur, India this month. In May, six of the top India water scholars will come to Northwestern to teach classes and participate in a Water Forum. The United Nations Development Programme is a major supporter.
artistic circles will document this historic educational exchange as part of the Water Pressures documentary. We will work with colleges and universities to expand this model of collaboration across the U.S. and worldwide.
YOU are the key to our success. With your help, these projects can move forward and help create awareness and positive actions in our young people to address the global water crisis. There are nearly 1,200 of you on our listserve. If each of you gives $25, we will raise $30,000! If you give $50, we will raise $60,000; and on up over $100,000. As you can see, your support makes a huge difference! Please donate to the Water Pressures Project. Thank you.
Sincere regards,
