Poco a Poco

Poco a Poco... Little by Little...

Offering hope is a not a process that can be rushed. It takes time, money, patience, trust, and a whole village behind us. It's putting one foot in front of the other, day after day, no matter what comes our way. And every single moment is worth it because it truly makes a difference in the lives of the children of Bienvenido.

Although we could write out many stories of how we work towards this, sometimes there's nothing better than hearing them first hand. So with this, we invite you to view our newest video where you'll hear the stories of Onis (age 8) and Ricardo (age 18), and learn how the little by little has added up to big change in their lives.

And speaking of little by little...

This week, April 9-13, there's an exciting opportunity for YOU to become part of our village and join us in offering hope. To celebrate the power of the crowd and how small donations add up to big change, GlobalGiving will be matching donations $50 and under at 50%, plus an additional 100% match on reoccurring donations.

And to top it off, one of our current supporters has also offered to match all reoccurring donations an additional 50%!!!

We will be using donations from this campaign to fund our school scholarship program for the upcoming 2018-2019 school year; a program than both Onis and Richardo have benefitted from. It's just one of the many steps we take to offer hope, and you can be a part of this change too.

Join us!
