Chiquilá Youth Leadership Institute
Tax deductible
In just 7 days I get on a plane and the Chiquilá Youth Leadership Institute begins! I can't believe it's so close.
From the start of this adventure, our team's focus has been to empower the next generation through exposure to global experts and relevant training so that they become leaders who positively change their community, culture and country.
But, as of today, we are looking at a deficit of $14,500 and if we don't solve for this, we will run out of resources on August 3rd. So it is safe to say, if I’ve ever needed your support – it’s now.
I think of the young man who inspired CYLI. Despite suffering sexual abuse as a 6-year-old boy, he is grasping for a way to establish purpose in his life through caring for others. Monthly, he throws birthday parties for kids whose families are not able to afford it. This summer means giving him deeper confidence, clearer vision, greater influence and most of all, hope.
