Global Pulse Gift of Education:
Classes of English & Geography for Children in Valle del Cauca, Colombia

In the spirit of the UN Sustainable Development Goals that promote Education, Equality & the Eradication of Poverty, I am launching - with your help -a free Education program to benefit families in poverty in Valle del Cauca, Colombia.  Offering classes to the children of Single, Working Mothers (& others) here in the town of Cartago not only provides these kids with the potential for better career opportunities, but immediately assists very hard- working, overwhelmed mothers with few financial resources.  Only the 'rich' kids get to study English at the language schools in developing countries - it is too expensive for these eager, smart, humble children. I would like to give them a gift of Hope - an investment in them and their futures.
My goal is to raise $2,500 and this will fund the following:
- 3 Months of Daily Classes (English + Geography/Travel), November - January+
- Serve 25-50 children via 2-3 groups daily
- Benefit single & working mothers who are overwhelmed daily & have few financial resources
- Donations will pay for room rental, furniture, whiteboard, markers, notebooks, pencils, educational materials, snacks & water, a fan, copying flyers for promotion, world map or globe, etc..
I can pull this off and, I believe, make a lasting impact if I can fund this.  Any donation - big or small - is greatly appreciated! I believe a Peaceful & Prosperous Future for ALL of us on this planet depends on International Collaboration, Friendship, Education & Equal Opportunity. THANK YOU SO MUCH! ¡Mil Gracias!
With gratitude & friendship,
