Hope Arriving in Your Mailbox...

Dear Friends of Hope,

Even though we now enter this second holiday season of a world still marked with caution and loss, anxiety and loneliness for many, a sense of HOPE is beginning to stir. Maybe you felt it when your children returned to school, or you took a walk with a friend. Maybe you are depleted of HOPE and looking for reminders of what is still good. This year, no matter where your heart lands currently, we can together celebrate the brightness of HOPE.  

Through your generosity and love, through all the years and through these last few particularly, The Hope Project is standing strong, and our school is dare we say, thriving and like the colors of the card above, bursting with HOPE.

Be watching your mailbox for our green envelope and our year-end invitation to join us in sharing together with the students of Liberia who will continue to carry their personal and collective HOPE into Liberia and the world. Year after year, you have helped us reach our school operation needs with your generosity during the holiday season.

With year-end approaching and GivingTuesday happening on Tuesday, November 30th, you will be hearing from us a bit more than normal.

As always, we are deeply grateful for all the bright and beautiful generosity you share with Liberia.

Mr. Smith Arrives in India...Finally!

Back in May 2021 we shared the news that Smith Samah, Hope International graduate, had been accepted into graduate school in India and that through the generosity of a Hope Project family, his tuition was covered.

He was ready. We were ready. And then, as many others experienced, COVID-19 and the Delta variant, plans were paused.

Smith waited and worked in Liberia, substituting as a teacher at Hope International. Then in October 2021, his visa was granted.

His entire community, led by Principal Joseph Cummings, provided the funds for his airline ticket. They surrounded Smith in support and love as he departed on his journey to India this past week.

While onboard his flight, Smith wrote a letter of gratitude to all those that have partnered with him along the way. To read Smith’s full letter click here.

We can think of no better example of how the coming together, each doing a part, makes the seemingly impossible, possible.

We look forward to sharing more about Smith’s journey with you during this holiday season. The various pieces coming together in just the right time.
