Today October 2 we reached the $ 10,000 goal. All 31 girls will be sponsored and a report will be forthcoming.
This has been possible only with your support. More and more we are convinced that access to education is one of the keys to breaking the cycle of poverty for our youth. We hope you will be following our reports on the different students as they progress with their studies and begin their professional lives.
THANKS AGAIN FOR BEING PART OF DREAMS COME TRUE.
We invite you to visit our Facebook page to meet our students and keep up with their activities. https://www.facebook.com/HHPBolivia/

THANK YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL RESPONSE!!
On behalf of the Helping Hands team, I wish to thank all of our friends and supporters for making it possible for us to earn a permanent place on GlobalGiving. This has been a wonderful experience, and it has been heartwarming for us to have so much support from you all.
Because we were so successful, we were allowed to raise our fundraising goal to $US 10,000 in order to fund 4 more girls, and we are just about there, with only $US 541 to go. https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/education-for-at-risk-bolivian-girls/
As soon as our IT man returns from his maternity leave later this week, we will be sending out a report on the 31 girls.
THANKS AGAIN FOR BEING PART OF DREAMS COME TRUE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
We thank all of our friends and supporters so very much for making this new venture on GlobalGiving a success for Helping Hands. As we write this newsletter we now have 39 donors of the 40 required for a permanent spot on GlobalGiving and $US 4433 of the $US 5000 needed for the permanent spot. We think that we might even reach our project goal of $US 7500 for the 27 girls.
Thank you all for giving a helping hand and for giving us HOPE!!
