10% of wheat festival funding goal reached--we're doughing good!

Web Version | Update preferences | Unsubscribe Like Tweet Forward CONTRIBUTE NOW! Last week we partnered with the Homeland Development Initiative Foundation (HDIF) to crowdfund a portion of the operational costs of a wheat-themed festival in the rural town of Vardenis, Armenia--where the average monthly income is $150 and 50% of the population is unemployed. The idea is to activate as many skilled people in the area as possible and to present Vardenis as a desirable place for tourists to visit and explore. We have 24 days to raise $8,447! So far we have raised $1,090 of the $10,037 needed to complete the project. We need your support to make the Golden Wheat Festival a success! Please contribute and share our campaign with your friends and family. Together we can empower local small business owners to bring their products to market. Eco-tourism works--experience last year's Honey & Berry festival! HDIF organizes several festivals like the Golden Wheat festival throughout the regions of Armenia every year; click on the photo to the right to see a video of last year's Honey & Berry Festival in Shamshadin to get a feel for what the atmosphere is like at these events and how they activate the areas they take place in!
