And now Erik Fendik from he DC Bitcoin Meetup group has joined in to help:
Hi Shabana,
Please meet my friend Dmitry. We met in DC in a group of people enthusiastic about innovative technologies that improve our society. He now runs a foundation that is looking for worthy nonprofits to donate to. I am also getting him in touch with over a dozen more organizations I have been connected to. I think he will really appreciate
Hope Through Education and
School of Leadership, Afghanistan.
Dmitry's foundation is called BitCoin100. They arose out of the generosity of a few early adopters of an amazing currency called BitCoins (if you haven't heard of them, this might help) to promote the value of the currency for nonprofits: when donors make their donations in BitCoins, the recipient nonprofit keeps 100% (hence the name). None of the funds are lost to credit card or processing fees.
BitCoin100 donates $1,000 to selected nonprofits who agree to accept the currency on their donation page. It doesn't take much work to get it set up, but I know the money could do a lot of good for your genuine and altruistic efforts.
@Dmitry, Shabana is a friend of mine with a great passion for improving lives of others. I met her at Middlebury College while getting immersed in challenges and peculiarities about socio-economic development. Shabana strives to educate women and works terelessly to do so at her home in Afghanistan. She has been recognized for her work countless times nationally and internationally (eg.

I know she and her partners could do a lot of good with $1,000 and I thank you kindly for your time helping out!
Good luck!
Thanks to Kite Runner and Thousand Splendid Suns, I'm all for getting women access to education in Afghanistan, so these are +1 for me

@Dmitry, Claudia is a friend of mine with a great passion for improving lives of others. I met her at Middlebury College while taking educational studies classes in her department and collaborating with her on educational outreach efforts. She is an amazing professor, educator, and an inspirational leader. She founded
Betasab in 2008 which is now a part of her Global Family Initiative. I was fortunate enough to be a part of their field work in Ethiopia last summer when I helped setting up a computer literacy lab for them.
I know they could do a lot of good with $1,000 and I thank you kindly for your time helping out!
Good luck!
This one seems fine too.
Hi Muyambi,
Awesome fundraising time on Thursday!
As I told you in person, please virtually meet my friend Dmitry. We met in DC in a group of people enthusiastic about innovative technologies that improve our society. He now runs a foundation that is looking for worthy nonprofits to donate to. I am also getting him in touch with over a dozen more organizations I have been connected to. I think he will really appreciate
Bicycles Against Poverty (BAP).

@Dmitry, Muyambi is a friend of mine with a great passion for improving lives of others. I met him at Red Cross Nordic United World College in Norway where we lived in the same house and shared struggles as well as joys running marathons together. After Muyambi got a scholarship at Bucknell University, PA, he established BAP in 2009 (you can read more at the
UWC press release).
I know they could do a lot of good with $1,000 and I thank you kindly for your time helping out!
Good luck!
Donating bikes to let kids reach far away schools, and others reach markets and such in remote areas. Man, some of these charities are inventive
+1 from me, too.
