We dreamed BIG for our first fundraising campaign! While we didn't hit our goal we learned a lot and are as excited as ever about sharing our message and bring assistance directly to the people who need it. We raised $4791 towards the post production of "Hope: Resilience in the face of war, poverty and Ebola" and are continuing our fundraising efforts. This film will help raise awareness and funds for our Liberian assistance programs. We invite you to donate or choose from several great gifts including handmade bracelets, Premium Microloan Blend Coffee and more. You can help right now. Check it out.
