Chicuchas Wasi wishes you a Prosperous and
Happy New Year with Peace and good Health
The Chicuchas Wasi Team began 2013 with serious concerns that we could not raise the basic operating budget of $131,000 for the school. When the CW school was created in 1997, we made a commitment to provide free quality education to every girl enrolled. Cutting teachers or closing the school was a terrible idea we were forced to discuss.
We searched for new ideas, gave presentations, sent emails to all of our friends and lists, planned a concert fundraiser and then online crowdfunding came into view.
We joined Global Giving online fundraising organization's challenge last April and YOU donated with us. YOU helped us win the $5000 in awards and we slowly chipped away at the budget amount needed. It is true, we all matter and ordinary people can make extraordinary gifts that change the lives of others. YOU came through and we are so very grateful. We didn't fire one teacher or close the school in 2013 and 100 girl's futures are changed forever.
YOU kept Chicuchas Wasi School for GIrls open in 2013 --
NO words can say THANK YOU enough!
•••YOU still have 2 DAYS to get the 2013 US tax benefit•••
Please do remember our students this holiday season with your year-end donation to educate girls whose lives are literally in our hands. Your donation will change their futures. Educated girls will not live a life of poverty, oppression and abuse as the women before them have been forced to endure because they had no education and no skills to provide for themselves or their children.
We have just kicked off our annual fundraiser to meet the new school budget for 2014 needed to keep CW doors open, teachers paid and education free to every student. Please consider becoming a monthly donor. See the pie below to learn how we use your donations.
Thank YOU to you all
