Scholarship Donation Match Alert

Dear Donorfirst,

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.”
We need YOUR help to graduate more students and have them reach their potential like Daniela. Can you help us fund a year-long scholarship for 6 high school students? Any small amount helps because this week GlobalGiving is matching your donation!

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

Another school year in Honduras is well underway, and we are excited for a new partnership with Project Trust!  As an organization, they connect gap-year students  (high school graduates, taking a year off before university) from the United Kingdom with partners abroad. Project Trust’s Honduras representative, Jake Compaan, who also serves as director for the ‘Vida Abundante’ bilingual school in Yamaranguila, connected us with two young women from “across the pond” who have now travelled all the way to our bilingual school in Camasca.Oli and Jasmine, will be spending half a year with us and they have already hit the ground running, by hosting an English enrichment program with our bilingual junior/senior high school students during their first month. And now that school is in session, they are happy accompanying our elementary school bilingual school students in their daily routines.

Their help will be invaluable as ANY volunteer at our school always provides an opportunity for our children to practice their pronunciation and vocabulary. We are excited to see what other projects they get involved in while they are down in Camasca and wish them a wonderful learning expereince that they can share with peers in the future.

Welcome Oli and Jasmine, we are happy and excited to have you in Camasca!
