HOW CAKES CAN HELP KIDS IN ETHIOPIA...

Let's think out of the box? This is what our group decided to do in order to have more ideas about how to raise money to help Dr. Hodes and...we have come up
with this: baking very ornate beautiful cakes and raffle them at schools, churches, organizations and wherever else there is a sweet tooth for good stuff and great causes!

The result so far? $555.00 dollars deposited into Dr. Hodes' account today!
The first cake raffle took place at Vista Grande Elementary School in Danville (during a Halloween Parade) last Thursday and the second cake raffle took place at Peace Lutheran Church also in Danville, yesterday.

During these two events we could spead the word about the magnificent of Dr. Hodes and also make the two winners' lives sweeter!

More funds raised at Vista Grande Elementary School's carnival!

For the second year our group has worked with Vista Grande's students and parents during this beautiful annual event to raise funds for the kids in Ethiopia.

Selling T-shirts (with our logo), beautiful hand made cloth wallets (made by Alex H., an 11 year old girl!) and photo cards we have raised $227.00 for Dr. Hodes!

Thank you to principal Hansen who continuely supports our sharing vision about the importance of educating children to help others in need.

Vista Grande Students helped to raise part of the necessary money to build another well!


Last week there was a second fundraiser at Vista Grande Elementary School at Danville for Dr. Hodes. We were there working with the students to raise money for a well for the new school that has been built in Ethiopia with the help of our friend Robel Haile, from Bottles for Poverty.


In five days selling ice creams, t-shirts and beautiful cloth wallets made by an eleven year old girl named Alex H., we were able to raise $772!


Thank you very much VG students! Thank you Mrs. Hansen and the mothers and kids who worked with us helping to make this another success!

Spreading Dr. Hodes' cause with Italian children


By the beginning of the year we had the opportunity to talk about Dr. Hode’s story to ITALIANS kids!


That vivid audience covered us with questions and comments about what Dr. Hodes has been doing in Ethiopia for the last 20 years of his life.

It made us very happy to have the opportunity to talk about Ethiopia kids and to sell our T-Shirts to those young european new friends! We have deposited $200 at Dr. Hodes account.

Grazie mille for your support amici!

More funds raised for Ethiopia!

In December We Are All Connected Group was capable to donate U$288,00 to Dr. Hodes due to the efforts of the children from Vista Grande Elementary School in Danville! Through their recycle program of bottles and old cell phones during November, they and us working together were capable to raise the money mentioned above and send it to JDC, the organization's that support Dr. Hodes's mission in Ethiopia.

In reponse of our efforts during 2013 to help Dr, Hodes' cause, he nicely took his precious time to write to us thanking our group and our precious children's team support!

Thank you everybody and let's make 2014 rock even more!
