VOTE!

For those of you who don't know, my brother and his wife have volunteered for a year with Hope Worldwide in Afghanistan. They are doing this out of the goodness of their hearts and are not receiving a penny for the entire year they spend over there working for this organization. They are working to improve some of the basic public services that we all take for granted. Their main project is the maternity hospital in Kabul where 120 women give birth every day. Maternal mortality is the leading cause of death for women in Afghanistan.
They have been there already for about 8 months, so they have about 4 more to go. They have recently entered a contest with Polar and made it to the second round. Now, all they need are your votes so they can receive a free vacation. They are definitely more than deserving of a relaxing vacation after the time and money they have dedicated to help rebuild areas of Afghanistan that are in particularly poor shape.
So, please visit www.polarusa.com/awcontest and vote for #5. They will ask for your email address for verification purposes and each email address can only vote once.
And spread the word!
Thanks, Brooke

P.S. Here is a photo of who you are voting for and the drastic change he has undergone in the last year. He fits in pretty well over there...until he speaks
