Global History for Haiti—10 for $10 - A letter from Ms. Stolarsky's Global Class
The Global Orphan Project transforms lives by caring for more than 3,500 orphaned and abandoned children in fourteen of the most desperate countries in the world. The GO Project uses a unique, community-based model, partnering with local leaders to provide children with a house “momma,” or caregiver, a safe place to live, two meals a day, an education, and access to medical care. GO also recognizes economic development as a way to reduce the number of orphans in the world. They help launch local businesses that provide jobs and training. Finally, due to a few donors that cover overhead costs, 100% of your donation will go directly to provide care for the children. For more information about the Global Orphan Project, you can go to their website: http://theglobalorphanproject.org/ .
Here’s our plan: each one of us is going to find 10 people to donate $10 each. Why just $10? We want to show that it doesn’t take thousands of dollars to make a difference. We want to create a network of people who care. With $10 you can help us raise funds and create a network of caring individuals dedicated to effecting positive and sustainable change for Haiti’s young people, all the while becoming part of it yourself. Feel free to pass this on, and go for 10 for $10 as well. After all, what’s global about keeping things to yourself? Please mail your checks of $10 (or more, don’t feel limited!) with the form attached below to Lindsey Stolarsky at Hunter College High School. You can contact our teacher with any questions or concerns at 646-963-6300 or lstolars@hccs.hunter.cuny.edu.
