CHARITY IN VIETNAM 06~~ Charity In Vietnam - Oct 07 ~~
Liz and John have a unique opportunity - they have solid careers that afford them the opportunity to donate to charities, and they have a voice in the poker community that allows them to reach thousands of people.By using this voice, they want to inform the public about charities that need support. This MySpace page is a forum for them to join forces and spread the word. As Liz and John share a Vietnamese heritage that is close to their hearts, they have chosen to support various charities that aid children and poor families in Vietnam.Liz recently adopted The WIN (Women In Need) Foundation. "I know what it's like to go through incredibly tough times and have to basically start life over," Liz wrote on her online journal after announcing her involvement with WIN. This is an organization that helps women do that, and I couldn't be prouder to endorse them," she said. "What they do is close to my heart. The foundation is designed to help empower and heal women. WIN offers programs to help women recover from abuse in seven outreach centers across the U.S., as well as one in Athens, Greece. Other initiatives from the organization include empowerment and self-esteem classes, plus a program to education college-age girls about alcohol-related abuse.Finally, MS (multiple sclerosis) is a disease that has touched the lives of so many people, but The MS Society comes closer to finding a cure every day. Liz and John have pledged to donate a percentage of their tournament profits to these charities, as well as to give donations when posssible. In addition, Liz is donating all of her profits from the sale of her posters on www.LizLieu.net to the charities. They encourage others to get involved, support in the way of volunteerism or donations, and experience the joy of an open heart and a giving hand.SUPPORTING W.I.N. FOUNDATIONMRS.GLOBE
