Vittana Ambassador Nathan Richardson, who I met in Los Angeles earlier this year, is going to Jordan for 16 weeks for a Fellowship for Vittana. But here’s the kicker – he needs YOUR help to fund the trip! He’s trying to raise $7,500 to cover expenses (which is nothing for 16 weeks). If you can afford to help him out, I know he would be extremely grateful. More details about the opportunity can be found on his blog:

My placement will be at the Microfund for Women which in the country of the city of Irbid in Jordan. For 16 weeks in 2011, I’ll be assisting in efforts to help alleviate poverty in the area through microfinance and education. To say this honor bestowed upon me is a once in a lifetime opportunity is definitely an understatement. I will be helping to start a program that doesn’t exist anywhere in the Middle East.

In addition to contributing to his fund via the ChipIn module (which can be found on Nathan’s blog), another great way to help out would be to spread the word about Nathan’s opportunity to anyone who you feel might be inclined to help.

In my mind, helping passionate people such as Nathan reach their goals and help others is a much better investment than your next big screen TV will ever be.
