Another year has passed by and we feel proud of all our students who have completed their educational programs. In 2019, 31 of our students completed their programs of study in high school technical school and university. Here you can see some of them at our Christmas party.
This has been an amazing journey for us all. We wish them the best of luck for the future!
We are getting ready to welcome new students for the upcoming year and once again we need your help. Donations at this time of year are particularly helpful as our students are beginning the school year.
Christmas season is a good opportunity to celebrate with our students. They have delighted us with their performances, dancing and singing. As you can see, they are proving to be very talented!
We had a lovely time with the students and their families sharing a delicious hot chocolate and “paneton” (a traditional Bolivian Christmas bread). The excitement for our annual Christmas raffle and gift giving characterized the event.
A special thanks to the students of the American Cooperative School (ACS CALVERT) who shared our Christmas celebration and organized presents for our youngest students.
We would like you to meet the people that make everything possible through their hard work and a smile every day. We will be telling you more about them in the following months.

HOW YOU CAN HELP THIS MONTH
This month we are focusing on one of our girls who has a full scholarship to study Veterinary Medicine. Silvia is now in her fourth semester and doing very well. Silvia has no family support and finds it impossible to cover all of her expenses with her part time job only. For this reason Helping Hands will cover the monthly rent of her room ($78). Donations of any amount are very much appreciated and can be made on the GlobalGiving website. Thanks so much.

Such a variety of activities: donating blood, feeding the homeless, visiting homes for the elderly, playing with children at a home, and much more.

HOW YOU CAN HELP THIS MONTH
We are still in need of new sponsors for some of our students, both high school and post-secondary. Education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty and sometimes as little as $20 per month can sponsor a highschool student. Please check out ourSPONSORSHIPpage on our website. Recurring or one time donations can be made on the GlobalGivingwebsite.
