There are TWO more days left to take part in GlobalGiving’s Little by Little Campaign where little acts of kindness can make a BIG difference. This campaign we are aiming to fund a 1-year scholarship for 6 high school students by raising 25, $50 donations. Alone, our goal may seem impossible—but together, we can accomplish anything.

Meet Jerson, as a part of our grandfathered scholarship program, he received help to finish his high school and university studies. Having graduated from a renowned university, Zamorano, he shares his wisdom to other students, “Despite the circumstances that may present themselves in life… persevere and with a little bit of ambition you can succeed. Because dreams do come true, but it is not a matter of having luck – rather of knowing how to utilize the opportunities that life gives us. Give the most of yourself every day in each task, because that is what can mark the difference from the rest.“

Don’t miss out—matching ends at midnight EST tomorrow!

Are you looking for a bigger commitment? Many services from document editing, cloud storage to music channels – now charge a monthly fee. Invest in a ‘monthly gift’ instead to help another Intibuca youth walk across the graduation stage. AND GlobalGiving will match your generosity up to $50…twice! Here’s how it works:

Set up a monthly donation today and GlobalGiving will match it by 50%.  After your fourth consecutive monthly gift in August, Shoulder to Shoulder will receive an additional one-time match at 100%!

Just $10 a month gets a year of school supplies to 1 student

GlobalGiving’s weeklong Little by Little fundraising for our scholarship students is happening from today until Friday. We are aiming to raise 25, $50 donations to provide a year scholarship for SIX high school students. ALL online donations up to $50 at 50% will be matched.

Meet Daniela, as a part of our grandfathered scholarship program, she received help to finish her high school and university studies. Daniela recounts how pursing a degree allowed her to learn important skills, “Life at the university taught me to be more independent in the sense that I had to be aware of my tasks and daily responsibilities… I always approached my teachers for advice when I didn’t know which class to enroll in and they were always guiding me so that my classes were in order.”

Your $10 donation turns into $15.

Your $30 donation turns into $45.

Your $50 donation turns into $75.

We need you by our side to make this happen!

Thank you for giving the gift of a scholarship
