Subject: Inquire information about their work and expansion in Pakistan
Dear One Acre Fund,
My name is [Your Name], and I am a student in sixth grade at [Your School
Name] in Karachi, Pakistan. We are currently learning about global poverty and
hunger, and I came across your organization's inspiring work in Africa.
I am particularly interested in your innovative approach to empowering small
farmers and increasing their yields. Your success stories are truly remarkable.
In learning about your work, I wondered if there's any possibility of the One Acre
Fund expanding its operations to Pakistan in the future. Many small farmers here
face similar challenges to those you address in Africa, and their families could
greatly benefit from your program.
Could you please share any information about the One Acre Fund's plans for
international expansion, particularly to South Asia or Pakistan?
Thank you for your time and consideration. I eagerly await your response and the
possibility of the One Acre Fund making a positive impact in my home country.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]

Dear Shelter Director (use name if known),
My name is [Your Name] and I am a sixth-grader at [Your School Name]. I'm
writing to inquire about your volunteer program for students.
I've always loved animals and have been volunteering at my local pet store for the
past year. I'm eager to gain more experience working with animals in need. In my
time at the pet store, I've learned how to walk dogs, clean kennels, and play with
various animals.
I understand that young volunteers may have limitations. I'm available to volunteer
after school on Thursdays for two hours.
Could you please send me information about your volunteer program, including
age requirements, training offered, and the types of activities available for younger
volunteers?
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
