I hope all is well with you. To celebrate Giving Tuesday today all donations up to £2,000/$2,500 will be partially matched with a share of a $1.2 million pot which is a fantastic opportunity for the projects. Last year this amounted to a 25% matching on all donations.
All funds raised today from this year’s Appeal will be put towards our local teachers’ salaries, scholarships, classroom materials, daily fruit and sustainable plans.
Last year's Appeal, launched in September 2022, raised an incredible £21,000/$26,000 towards the £85,000/$106,000 we spent on The Phoenix Projects in Latin America over the following twelve months. As you can see clearly we were able to accomplish one quarter of our work in Latin America thanks to your generous support to the Appeal, including the annual Giving Tuesday partial matching.
To take advantage of the partial matching today please donate to this page and thank you so much in advance.
In Perú we celebrated seventeen years working in Maldonado with traditional dance and food. Our local teacher Edy Luz has been with us from the beginning and must take huge credit for everything that she has achieved over the years with the children’s education, especially during the pandemic.
The children’s daily food from the government continues to be augmented with the vegetables from the garden. We pay for the gas to heat the food as well as buying fruit each day.
Have a great December and thank you so much in advance for anything you can donate today to the Appeal so we can receive the Giving Tuesday matching.
Cheers
