There is so much good work happening in the world! One Drop of Hope is supporting three campaigns this year. I hope your donation finds a home with one of these worthwhile projects:
Kenya
Education Endowment Fund (KEEF): Provides
scholarships for very bright students in Kakamega, Kenya who do not have the
means to pay school fees which are $500 or more per year. http://www.canadahelps.org/GivingPages/GivingPage.aspx?gpID=20971 Donate Here
Every time we visited a school in Kenya, we were struck by the determination, enthusiasm, and hope in the young students. The future of Kenya and the world lies with our educated youth. This is Anthony; he is top in his class and dreams of becoming a doctor.
Donations of any amount are appreciated, whether for the full fee for one student to attend boarding school for a year ($500) or day school ($125), or any smaller portion! It all helps. You will receive a tax receipt for your donation. Donate here http://www.canadahelps.org/GivingPages/GivingPage.aspx?gpID=20971 or contact me if you would prefer to send a cheque.

Aeroplan Miles: Support farmers, tea growers and families in Assam India through sustainable
agriculture http://beyondmiles.aeroplan.com/eng/partners/177
Our Rotary Club of Strathcona Sunrise has become part of a charitable
pooling program where Aeroplan members can donate their miles to Rotary to help
offset the cost of travel for volunteers overseas. Members of Rotary work
on a voluntary basis to carry out and support humanitarian projects in our
local community and internationally.We are doing a collection drive for the month of October with a goal of collecting 100,000 aeroplan miles to send Rotarian, Peggy Carswell, to Assam India this year to continue her work with farmers in sustainable agriculture (http://www.fertile-ground.org/). If we meet 90% of our goal by October 31st, Aeroplan will kick in the rest. This is a great way to give without having to dip into your pocket or your bank account! Donate here http://beyondmiles.aeroplan.com/eng/partners/177
Note: This is for Aeroplan Miles only. If you have points from another provider and would like to sponsor a flight in full, please contact me for details at onedropofhope@gmail.com or (250) 898-7728.
