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!

What is our mission?

Our mission is to raise awareness among children illustrating how we are all truely connected and how by working together we can make a difference in the world.

We want to carry our message to children in cities, states, and countries throughout the world conveying this message of being connected and through efforts supporting voluntary causes at their schools they can help children in need.

Our current project is to raise awareness and funds to assist Dr. Rick Hodes in providing medical care and clean water to children of East Africa. This project has two primary beneficial objectives:

First is educational: Children at their schools, with the help of their teachers and administrators can work together to help those in need. Each and every child realizes he/she can make a difference!

Second is financial: Our objective to raise money in each school through special fundraisers, as well as permanent recycling of bottles, cans and cell phones.

How can you help?

We would love your participation by motivating your school to embrace our mission and adopting our current fundraising project for Dr.Hodes cause at your school. One successful example is Vista Grande Elementary School in Danville California. See our blog post about their fundraiser: Vista Grande Fundraiser

You can also contribute by donating your used cell phones to any local school participating in this project.

We believe this message is important to be shared with your children. To illustrate the value of their efforts, to show how we are all connected, and how powerful a difference they can make by helping others!
