Happy 2019 to you all. The title of this reports says it all - food is needed for thought. One cannot study on an empty stomach. We have managed to keep basic food programs going in our projects, mainly fruit-based, and we hope to continue this during 2019 and, donations depending, increase the programs to include more vegetables by creating school gardens. It can all be done and with your help, we will do it!
Thank you so much to everyone who has donated to this year’s Appeal, raising funds to go towards the $100,000 we plan to spend during 2019 on local teachers and materials. One final push by donating to this page and we can reach our targets so please do dig deep if you can 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 1 teacher for 25-30 children for one year
$1,860 1 teacher for 25-30 children for six months
$930 1 teacher for 25-30 children for three months
$310 1 teacher for 25-30 children for one month
$180 1 child for one year
$90 1 child for six months
$45 1 child for three months
$15 1 child for one month
Thank you to everyone who has signed up to the Inca Trail and Machu Picchu Challenge from 26th-31st May raising funds for all our projects. There are now no spots left though we will be taking on the Ecuador Challenge, including volcanoes Fuya Fuya and Imbabura the following week. A great group is forming for that one too so please do get in touch with dom@thephoenixprojects.org if you are interested!
Thank you so much to all of you who have helped us continue our work this year with regular donations, charity challenge participation and one-off donations. To coin the old cliché, we couldn´t have done it without you!
Have a great 2019!
Cheers
