Putting the Extra in Ordinary.

Just as schools in the United States have had to pivot (swivel, adjust, reinvent, struggle, support, close and open), Hope International has been continually adapting to the numerous challenges that the Coronavirus has presented to schools worldwide.

The students returned in a staggered re-entry on January 4, 2021. Enrollment is up and we are sitting at 1,181 students (which does not include our vocational and night school students).

Hope International is the heart of all we do. All these ordinary school days strung together have created something extraordinary.

Something not of the ordinary variety? Our (un)Event happening on April 24th. Boxes are selling swiftly. Learn more about (un)attending here. The money raised during our annual celebration and fundraiser is how we keep both the ordinary and extraordinary things happening at Hope International.

Together, we are The Hope Project.

It's The Inside That Counts.

All the good flowing from our little/big school is made possible through your generosity. Together, we are The Hope Project.

Cooking Up Hope.

And the good vocational news just keeps on growing!

Once again, Project Redwood of Tides Foundation partnered with us to create a culinary vocational certification opportunity for the students and surrounding community of Hope International.

In December 2020, our Liberian partners began the process of purchasing ovens, pots, pans and other supplies and shortly after, the first class began Cooking Up Hope.

Students are being trained in traditional and modern cooking methods, baking and cake decoration, catering and food service in the hospitality industry.

Instructors, Samara Sumo and Melvin Gibson Sr., have created a program that will prepare students for employment and cottage industries.

This work happens when we all collectively come together. We are grateful for Project Redwood's commitment to Liberia and sponsoring work that addresses extreme poverty. And to our Hope partners that created and continue to support this community gem, we extend our deepest gratitude.

We would love for you to join us at (un)Event on Saturday, April 24 to celebrate all the good flowing from our little/big school. To learn more and to purchase a Box of HOPE, click here.
