Final Report
By Tom Arsenault | Program Manager
The girls we have funded through this project are grateful for the help. It has truly made a difference in their lives. But funds are too small to do anymore. Besides the lack of donations, we are losing our reliable someone to distribute the funds in Zimbabwe and our program focus has shifted to the Caribbean. So we are closing this GG project. Any remaining donations will still go towards the girls project. Thank you all for your past support. Please consider donating to our Tools For Empowerment for Artisans in Haiti project on GG. It is a project in partnership with the Salesian Missions of Don Bosco.

The New 2014 School Year
By T. Arsenault | Overseas Program Manager
The school year begins in mid-January for all Zimbabweans. Its mid summer, which means very hot and humid. The economy in Zimbabwe is not doing well since there is a shortage of hard currency. Shops don’t have as much food and prices have gone up quite a lot. The government actually has plenty of income from the “blood diamond” fields near Mutare but most of it goes into the private coffers of the president and his men. Yet Zimbabweans still say they have hope of things getting better. We hope so.
We are still waiting for the information from the school on the girls that may be assisted with their school fees. We help as many girls as we can each year, depending on the donations we receive. This past year has been particularly quiet on the giving front for these girls. So the number of girls assisted will depend on how much each needs.
Please make a contribution. You can help one more girl stay in school and have a better future.

Time For Finals
By Tom Arsenault | Overseas Manager
It is the season to stop and count our blessings - to give thanks for our abundance. To express our gratitude for the privilege of being to help others who are less fortunate. The girls are now studying for and writing their final exams as the school year comes to a close in December. It’s rainy season and that means hot and humid. When the girls go home for holiday, most likely they will spend a considerable amount of time helping Mom by working in the maize field. That is the time they look forward to going back to school in mid January.
Remember that there is a girl in Zimbabwe who is in school because of your donation. If they could, her teachers, parents, community, would all reach across the ocean and give you a big hug. Since that is not possible, click here for the next best thing.
Please give generously so we can continue to fund their school fees. At ASAP we cannot say thank you enough. Happy Thanksgiving!
