Dear Friends of Hope,

The Hope Project began around a kitchen table in Leavenworth, Washington where Joseph, our founding principal, shared his dream for a community school with us (his friends in the US). Together, we agreed in Hope, that we would work towards this shared vision. It really was that simple. It really was that audacious.

We sent out pleas for support to everyone we knew. You showed up. Together, we all moved forward.

Every month after was an exercise of Hope. We hoped we would have enough to pay the lease and teachers. We hoped that we weren’t in over our heads (spoiler: we were).

The Hope Project is at its core, a testament to the power of what can happen when Hope is at the center of it all.

No one around that table knew what was in store and how this one smallish dream would manifest into something so beautiful, Hope International School.

Together, we are The Hope Project.
