20 Intrepid wonderful people mainly from Melbourne are setting off to conquer Mt Difficult and Briggs Bluff on this overnight adventure on the 24th and 25th March. The trek will be tough and the food limited, but hopefully we all make it and raise some funds for some wonderful charities. A number of us our raising money for:-
A Program in Honduras. Please see below for the story and how you can help us.
In 2005, GVI Phoenix started working in a small school in San Rafael, Honduras, in the mountains surrounding Copán. Recently, we have expanded into Barbasco aswell, providing extra teachers, food and fruit for the children, who share classrooms and teachers across all grades. In 2008, we started our own secondary school in San Rafael, paying for teachers to give secondary education, which was impossible before. Now we have 100 children enrolled, from five different communities.
What your donations can provide:
15 AUD GBP10 buys the necessary educational utensils for one child per year
40 AUD or GBP25 buys food and fruit for 10 children for one month
525 AUD GBP350 pays for the salary of one local secondary teacher per month
Without this project, the children would simply not receive secondary education. By donating just a small amount, the project will receive funding to allow the school to have teachers who can provide official certificates for the children, which goes a long way to achieving our sustainable goals. We can also ensure the children receive a healthy meal each day. The children are the future and secondary education gives them a shot at this future.
