[SCAW-E-Letter] Hello YouTube or Google Members

[Mail List Moderator]

Hello SCAW Donors,

We haven't sent many messages to you lately but we update our website regularly and we hope you've been checking it every once in a while. Anyway, for those of you who have a YouTube Account or a Google Account, this message is specially for you.

Back in March, YouTube set up the Good Work Channel and invited non-profits around the world to tell creative agencies about their group. Sleeping Children Around the World was among 436 groups that submitted a brief and, in response, 268 agencies replied to the briefs -- 2 for our charity -- one from Budapest, Hungary and one from Cape Town, South Africa.

To put this in perspective, only one-third of the briefs got any response at all -- some only received 1 response and the most popular received 58 responses. In order to promote our charity, we hope that our two creative groups get into the final selection. But to do that, they need to be popular with YouTube members. So, we're asking you to look at the videos and like/vote for them. Each is less than a minute long so it won't take too much of your time.

I have links to the two spots below. I've also posted them on the SCAW website:

This one "Monster Under the Bed" is from a 23-year-old film student in Cape Town, South Africa:

This one "Without Dreaming there is no Future" is from Y&R in Budapest, Hungary:

Feel free to share this message and tell your friends and family to like/vote for BOTH of our videos too. This will help promote our charity even more.
