PROJECT NEWS

This has been a super two months for CONGRATULATIONS!! Elizabeth finished her studies in Gastronomy, Ivett successfully completed her final defense of her thesis in Biochemistry and Pharmacy, and Pilar graduated from the UMSA as an Engineer in Industrial Chemistry!!!!

Cesar at the home for the elderly. Anel bathing and dressing homeless child.

And September was volunteer month for the students at Helping Hands. We invite you to check out our album “Voluntary Work!” You will be surprised to see the many ways our students helped others including haircuts, donations of blood, visiting the elderly and the sick, collecting bottle caps for the children’s cancer campaign and much more. Don’t miss this album. We are proud of our students!!

HOW YOU CAN HELP FOR 2018-2019

Thanks to our donors and to GlobalGiving, 31 of our girls have now been supported for 2018. However, 24 of these girls will be continuing with Helping Hands for 2019 and new girls will begin. Many of our sponsors and contributors have asked how they could donate monthly. With GlobalGiving it’s easy! From Nov. 27 to Dec. 31 2018 recurring monthly donations will be matched by GlobalGiving on the first donation. If you would like to contribute monthly to Helping Hands, please click here. Or check out our Dental Health micro project for our younger students.

Thank you, PROGEST, for making it possible for 46 of our students to take part in “Caminando por La Vida” to raise funds for poor children with cancer.
Pedro invited us to his organic farm in Achocalla to hear a talk on “Masculinity, Machismo and the Patriarchy”. Lots of food for thought.
Alicia,one of our students who finished her studies in Health Statistics in 2009 now works for a big hospital here in La Paz, and she continues to study. Here she shows her certificate for studies in Aymara, a local native language.

THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH FOR MAKING EDUCATION POSSIBLE FOR SO MANY OF OUR YOUTH.
