You are cordially invited to the Launch Event of the Wokai Chicago Chapter!
We hope you can join us on August 4th (from 6:00pm - 8:00pm) at the Omni
Hotel overlooking Michigan Avenue!
Wokai is a non-profit organization committed to helping to those in rural
China lift themselves out of poverty through micro-finance. While China is
growing at a rapid rate - unfortunately, the socio-economic gap is ever-
widening and many people are still living in third-world poverty.
Wokai is a way to help those in rural China help themselves - in a
measurable and sustainable way. It is an online micro-finance platform
which allows you to designate where your donations go. Simply go online and
browse the list of potential donees (www.wokai.org). It is the gift that
keeps on giving - once your donated amount is returned, you can continue to
re-designate/recycle donation(s) to other donees!
The Launch Event will be a great time - there will be an open bar and three
gourmet food stations! We will show a mini documentary on poverty and micro
-finance in rural China and have a special guest speaker.
This is a great opportunity to network and a meaningful cause to support.
*All profits from the event will go toward Wokai's mission of helping those
in rural China.*
Please see attached for your invitation. Tickets can be purchase in advance
for $25 or for $30 at the door.

这不就是捐款吗,贷款到期把你的钱给另外一个人,这年头玩新概念就算了,非洲什么
的我也信了,还弄在中国,20块美元可以资助个屁,那里物价比美国还贵。
