Authentic Community member AF, on behalf of Bess and Sam Gsell, recently used this amazing service provided by Save the Children to teach and provide adolescent girls in Ethiopia with hygiene products.

Kids of PS321 class k-139 making snowflakes for our sponsored kids. No snow in Bangladesh, El Salvador, and Egypt, I assume, but it's the thought that counts.
Authentic Community member Lily will be writing an accompanying letter for the snowflakes, which will then be packed in ice and vacuum sealed for the long, hot journey from classroom to post office to classroom.
We have 3 more matches from member of our community, Jodi Peikoff, Kat Foster, and KB!
Here is Jodi Peikoff's sponsor, Moushimi, and match, Likhon, both from Bangladesh.
Moushoumi, age 7
Likhon, age 9 (Match #3)
I don't have the other sponsor info yet, but here are their matches - Pinki and Rasel, both from Bangladesh. As soon as I get the rest of the info I will update this post.
Due to a glitch in the system, Save the Children was unable to log people who used our link to sponsor a child.
If you sponsored a child, and your match hasn't appeared on this website yet, please send an email to don@authenticM.com with the child's name, age, country, and picture. Also include whether or not you want your name to appear on our site.
Authentic Community member Vera Farmiga knitted a beautiful baby cap as part of Save the Children's Knit One Save One program. Here's a pic, worn by a still-nameless newborn in Tanzania! Go Vera!!!
Contribution is a core value here at Authentic, and part of our ongoing conversation in the office is, "how are we being a contribution?" A contribution to our clients, to our business partners, employees, families, friends, and to the world at large.
This website is a place for all of us in the Authentic community––those of us who work here, and those whose lives we touch––to share what we're up to. Since we're creating the world we want to live in through our words, thoughts, and deeds, this is a place to share our inspiration, and to inspire others to join us in the spirit of contribution and service.
