Campaign Story
Dear friends,
I would like to share with you guys a couple experiences that changed my mind.
The first one... there was a kid in the floor trying to count corn seeds, but he had problems to count, I approach to him and ask him if he knows how to count from 1 to 10 and he reply very happy, YES SIR!, and some day I will be able to see the numbers in the school. "I replyed, but you have enough age to attend to the school, don't you?", He nodded and stared sadly at the ground, I ask him why he was so sad, and answer, my parents cant buy glasses for me, and I can't understand what the theacher write down at the blackboard.
This experience happened when I went to Coban, Several children were affected by the polution of the industry.
Now I found that kids in "La Costa Sur" in the land next to the Ocean Pacific need glasses because a lot of them can't watch an understand, and that is why they can't have good exam grades.
Your generosity will go directly to covering 100% the glasses and not to cover any kind of organization who will be charging offices, managers and so on.
We will send you back a picture of the kid, the phone number and a reciept with your last name and the ammount used to cover the glasses the kid wearing in the picture that we will sent to you as proof.
Its not easy for me to ask for help, but without your support I quite literally wouldn’t be able to do it.
Please know that if you choose to donate, any amount will make such an impact, just knowing you support me in this work!
If there is any kind of help, like technlogy, or you want to donate time or equipment please write down to me
THANK YOU!!
