Clay Aiken in Afghanistan: $139,778 for kids in just one week!

Clay Aiken in Afghanistan with UNICEF

Hello, we have some big news and a big number to share this morning. Together we've raised $139,778.60 (as of 11:04 a.m. this morning) for Clay Aiken's 10 Day Challenge for the Children of Afghanistan. Congratulations and thank you for your amazing support of this program! Clay Aiken's Fieldnotes post from Monday told us about the great need he saw first-hand in Afghanistan. Schools are struggling to provide school supplies to every boy and girl who wants to learn. Your gifts will make a tremendous difference in the lives of these kids. Today is Day 7 of the challenge. We've got three more days left and we've already exceeded Clay's $100,000 goal. How much more do you think we can raise for the children of Afghanistan in three more days? Post a comment and let us know. I'll be back with another post tonight to update you on how much we've raised today. If you haven't made a donation to Clay's campaign yet, I hope you'll consider making a donation to help UNICEF provide clean water and education to children in Afghanistan. Also, I've received some emails from people in Canada asking how they can join in. If you are in Canada and would like to make a gift in support of this campaign, please click here. Finally, please consider signing up for our eNewsletters if you haven't yet. Our emails are one of the best ways we share the news of UNICEF's work for the world's children.
