Happy New Year to you all - we hoped it has started off well for you! This year will be extremely exciting on the projects with a lot of emphasis on the sustainable plans. With a lot of investment in Plan Pollo (chickens) Plan Moo (cows) Plan Huerto (vegetables) and Plan Corte (weaving looms) in Guatemala over the past few years it is now time to see their fruits as they begin to cover costs of the school. In Honduras, Plan Café has covered the graduations for years and Plan Huerto and Plan Huerto will be increased during the year. In Ecuador, Plan Moo, Plan Cuy (guinea pigs) and Plan Huerto have gone a long way to cover further education costs and we plan to implement more plans to help cover the costs of the centralized school. Meanwhile in Perú, we are still deciding on what plan we can put in the desert though we have some ideas - we'll keep you posted!
Thank you so much to everyone who has donated to this year’s Appeal, raising funds to go towards the $100,000 we plan to spend during 2019 on local teachers and materials. One final push by donating to this page and we can reach our targets so please do dig deep if you can or even crowd fund with friends, family and co-workers in your office or school and aim for one teacher's salary for the whole year!
Examples:
$3,725 1 teacher for 25-30 children for one year
$1,860 1 teacher for 25-30 children for six months
$930 1 teacher for 25-30 children for three months
$310 1 teacher for 25-30 children for one month
$180 1 child for one year
$90 1 child for six months
$45 1 child for three months
$15 1 child for one month
Thank you to everyone who has signed up to the Inca Trail and Machu Picchu Challenge from 26th-31st May raising funds for all our projects. There are now no spots left though we will be taking on the Ecuador Challenge, including volcanoes Fuya Fuya and Imbabura the following week. A great group is forming for that one too so please do get in touch with dom@thephoenixprojects.org if you are interested!
Thank you so much to all of you who have helped us continue our work this year with regular donations, charity challenge participation and one-off donations. To coin the old cliché, we couldn´t have done it without you!
Have a great 2019!
Cheers
