By Dom Williams | Founder and director of The Phoenix Projects
As we swiftly move into February all our projects are now back up and running after the holidays and we can eagerly look ahead to providing yet more education, employment and daily food and fruit to almost 1000 children across Latin America.
During 2014 we would like to take our children on school trips as a reward for their efforts in the classroom as well as to broaden their horizons from their day-to-day lives in the communities. In Guatemala we would like to take our students to football competitions in the department as well as day trips to Antigua; in Honduras the Copán ruins would be a fabulous outing to show the children their heritage; in Nicaragua, visits to the local environment including waterfalls and rivers; in Ecuador we would like to repeat the success of our day trips for all the communities to nearby lakes and in Perú, as is custom, the day trip to the beach - something quite amazing for them, bearing in mind they live in a desert.
It is thanks and testimony of your support during these past years, and years to come, that we can continue the projects, getting better each year and providing an education for these communities that had little chance or opportunity.
In 2014, we will be holding three charity challenges in Guatemala as well, so if you fancy heading down, seeing the projects and raising funds by challenging yourself, please see our website on http://www.thephoenixprojects.org/donate-now/challenges/
Thank you for your continued support during 2014!
cheers
