Walk a Mile in My Shoes in Kelowna, BC raised over $ 3,000 at our 5th Annual Walk for Education for our children in Liberia, West Africa. For many children in this country going to school is only a dream. They simply do not have the funds. Many families hardly have enough food to eat, not to mention school fees.
Provision of Hope would like to thank everyone who participated in this event! A special thanks goes out to Sarah Mooney who helped organize the walk again this year. The Immaculata “Go Team” was back volunteering! It’s amazing what we can do when we all join hands “together” for a worthy cause!! Thank you ALL for coming to make this day a success!!!
We had our Coins for Kids at the Walk . This is a project we are doing in order to buy our Hope Home children “extra” clothes at Christmas. If anyone would like to have one of these coin collectors please email karen@provisionofhope.com and we will send you a Coin Collector! We will tax receipt all donations $20.00 and over. When the containers are full, count it up and send in a cheque, or donate the equivalent on line. Click on the DONATE button on our home page.
Immaculata Catholic Regional High School I love how you teach your Go Teams and your students in your Social Justice Classes how to participate in worthy causes that have an effect both locally and globally. Your incentives to have them volunteer their time is exceptional! WE have received a lot of help from your students for several different “successful” projects we have carried out in Liberia. The goat and chicken farm in Kpaytuo Village is just one example. Take a look at SAVING THE LIVES OF CHILDREN AT RISK
It was the Immaculata students at the Kelowna Global Citizen Millenium Development Challenge that won first prize of $ 5,000 for the Goat Farm and Feeding Center for malnourished Children in Kpaytuo Village!
Everyone who walked got a “free” ticket to enter our raffle prize draw!
We are still taking in money for education. Our expected costs for Education for this year will be close to 70,000. We are already at 64,510.90. This includes the first installment for this school year 2015/2016. The second installment will be due in January. We believe that Education helps a poverty stricken country to move forward. This is why we have a passion to educate as many children as possible in the better schools of Liberia. This year we have funded 18 university and college students to school. Altogether we have 141 students enrolled in schools across Liberia.
If any one would like to contribute to our Education Fund you are welcome to click here to do so. If you would like to see a photo of the child or youth that you donated to, please do let us know and we will send it.
