We don't talk much about our stateside staff (Jackie and Andrea). You may have received emails, cards or chatted on the phone with them, but they are responsible (along with our stateside board) for holding the organization together on this side of the ocean, ensuring that ALL the amazing things happening on the other side of the ocean are supported.

This past weekend they were invited by Project Redwood to travel to their Annual Conference in Palo Alto, California, where Jackie was a member of a three-person panel of grantees.

Project Redwood is an organization of Stanford Business School graduates who have come together to work collectively in supporting organizations that work towards alleviating global poverty.

Jackie and Andrea were welcomed warmly and we are so grateful for this multi-year partnership. Through the grants awarded by Project Redwood, our three vocational programs were established. This has been a BIG deal for our school and for the community. This December, 240 students will be graduating from these programs.

Thank you to Project Redwood for supporting Hope and making beautiful things happen!
