As summer winds down and the children in your life and community head back to the classrooms, students of Hope International are readying to do the same. Classes begin on September 16th and the campus is abuzz with activity and excitement. Registrations are ongoing, rooms are being readied, and another year of Hope has been made possible by you.
We hope that you saw yourself reflected in our summer series. The true story of Hope is ordinary people doing extraordinary things through connection and generosity. Is there really anything more profound? Together in another year of Hope!
Solomon's Smile
Like Eunice, Solomon has spent much time in the Sew Much Hope sewing room practicing his skills. He has a friend who has a shop that has let him use his store machine "to keep his skills fresh." Now Solomon, through this generous Hope community, has his own machine and his own business.

In the Hope family photo album, these photos will be reflected upon and shared as examples of what happens when we all come together.
There is Nothing Small About This Small Business
We wanted to share a message from one of the 12 students who received a sewing machine through the generosity of this community. The impact of your collective gifts is immediate and significant.
Eunice Kollie is graduating high school this year and says that she has spent much of her after school time in the Sew Much Hope sewing room on campus, improving her skills. By having her own machine, she will now be able to sew for her family and community and make "money of her own."
Everlyn and Eunice
Not only was this opportunity life changing for Eunice, but her mother, Everlyn, also wanted to share a message.
The instructors of Sew Much Hope, the staff at Hope International, you, us, the Kollie family working together in support of Eunice's bright future, that is a story of Hope.
