Build a Preschool in the Philippines
Don protégé
Help to build a preschool & daycare center in the Phillipines!
My boyfriend and I will be going to the Philippines in July with a group of friends to assist in building a preschool and daycare center in the Sulangan region, which was devastatingly effected by Typhoon Haiyan (aka: Yolanda) in November 2013. The reconstruction of the daycare center will provide care and early education for 108 local youth and, more importantly, free their parents' time to rebuild their homes and livelihoods. All the funds raised will go to the design, management, and building materials for the project, as well as salary for the local construction workers, school/childcare supplies, and more. (The money DOES NOT go to us. Our flights, accommodations, and food for the trip are separate.)
The project is organized by a registered 501(c)3 non-profit called Surf for Life, which supports community projects in coastal communities throughout the developing world. By working with local stakeholders to address their most pressing self-identified needs, Surf For Life projects focus primarily on increasing access to education, health, and economic development. Full details on this particular project can be found on this page here: https://www.surfforlife.org/projects/sulangan-preschool-daycare-center
I am working with a friend who's company will do donation matching for this project, but in order to faciliate that the donation has to be one, big sum. That is why I am collecting the funds all together here, via GoFundMe, so that we can donate everything at once and have it be matched, which will maximize your charitable gift! That means for every $1 you donate, $2 goes towards making this preschool a reality. All funds raised will go to Surf for Life. We are looking to raise $2500, which will be matched for a total fundraising goal of $5000!
Thanks in advance for any contribution you can make! And please share, even if you can't donate. Spreading the word is greatly appreciated.
(If you'd prefer not to donate via GoFundMe please feel free to contact Erica via email or Facebook. We can accept cash (in person only), personal checks, money orders, PayPal, Square Cash, or credit cards via Square. If your own employer does charitable donation matching, let me know so that I can also link you to a page where you can donate directly to Surf for Life.)
