Update #1 · Apr 15, 2012 · comment

Dear friends,

Thank you so much for your support of The Island of Widows project! Thanks to your generosity, we have reached 90% of our goal and are closing in on securing funding.  

I first wanted to share a nice write-up of our project in the Columbia Journalism Review: http://www.cjr.org/the_news_frontier/the_kickstarter_chronicles_4132012.php?page=1 We hope this will be the beginning of wider press attention that our reporting brings to this epidemic.

Finally, we have one week left before our funding deadline. I wanted to encourage you to help us get over the top by spreading the word to your friends, family and colleagues. Once more, here is the link to our project: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/83367133/the-island-of-widows

Thanks so much for everything, and I'm looking forward to writing you from the field!

Sasha
