Project Report | Nov 21, 2018
Colada Morada and Daily Fruit

By Dom Williams | Founder and Director

Daily Fruit in Peru
Daily Fruit in Peru

It has been a great few months in the projects, not least in Ecuador where, to celebrate the traditional Day of the Dead, we made Colada Morada and breads with the children and parents in the school – it is so important to continue such traditions. The daily fruit program continues in Perú and the students in the Phoenix College make the most of our discounted Plan Tienda (shop) where fresh snacks are made each day with the proceeds going back into the school. Keeping the children fed each day is a challenge without which they couldn't study properly and take full advantage of the education that we provide.

Our Appeal this year, in conjunction with Giving Tuesday on 27th November, aims to raise funds towards our local teachers’ salaries and materials for 2019. On average each teacher will educate between 25-30 children per class and will often teach more than one class so the more teachers we can bring on board for 2019, the more children we can give a vital education to whether this is primary, secondary or college.

Our local Phoenix teachers are the backbone of the projects. Their daily dedication to hundreds of indigenous children in Guatemala, Honduras, Ecuador and Perú cannot be commended enough. They are the future of the projects as well as their communities and we must guarantee this future with funding, both through donations in the short term and through sustainable income plans over the medium to long term.

For example, Ana was one of our first students when started our school in Itzapa, Guatemala back in 2002 and has been teaching in the school for the past few years. Norma was among our first graduates from the Phoenix college in Honduras in 2014 and has since been part of the Phoenix team teaching up in Barbasco. We took on Cristian this year in Ecuador who grew up in the community where we teach and Ediluz has been with us since the start in Perú, where we have just celebrated twelve years.

Over the next two months we hope to raise a large proportion of the $100,000 we plan to spend during 2019 on local teachers and materials so please do dig deep this Giving Tuesday on 27th November if you can and donate to this page or even crowd fund with friends, family and co-workers in your office or school and aim for one teacher’s salary for the whole year!

Examples:
$3,725 can cover 1 teacher for 25-30 children for one year
$1,860 can cover1 teacher for 25-30 children for six months
$930 can cover 1 teacher for 25-30 children for three months
$310 can cover 1 teacher for 25-30 children for one month

$180 can cover 1 child for one year
$90 can cover 1 child for six months
$45 can cover 1 child for three months
$15 can cover 1 child for one month

On behalf of all the communities where we work, thank you so much in advance for anything you, friends and family can donate for the communities and their future!
