Everyone here at Phoenix wishes you all a very Happy Thanksgiving this coming week. There is also another reason to be extremely thankful thanks to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation who have generously provided $500,000 in matching funds for the unprecedented Global Giving 50% matching day on Tuesday 29th November where donations of up to $1,000 per donor per organization will be matched by 50% whilst funds last. In addition to this huge matching opportunity, all new recurring donations made from 29th November through December 31st will be matched at 200% up to $100, on the fourth donation!
How would this help our program in Guatemala? As we are in the middle of our Classroom Materials Appeal for 2017 we can receive a massive boost to reach our target of supplying materials for all our classrooms so the children can receive the best education possible. By receiving the donations before term starts we can buy more in bulk, getting more bang for our "matched"-buck! With each child having what is needed and not going short, their education, and the work by the local teachers, will be imprived dramatically.
Every donation always helps us to help them, so please do dig deep this coming Tuesday 29th November and help us match their futures with the same generosity shown by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in conjunction with Global Giving.
Thank you
