Projects funded in support of Sciencewomen Reader Challenge 2008

We're hoping that, in this time of global economic crisis, climate change, and political turmoil, our readers (generous souls all) can dig deep to help some kids learn skills they're going to need to deal with the mess we leave them. Thanks for whatever you can give, all donations will be gratefully appreciated. And for those who can't donate, thanks for your good wishes and maybe spreading the word to others.

-- Science Woman and Alice Pawley

Every donor thanked. Donation is tax-deductible.
