We're fundraising $5k to renovate a primary school in Antigua, Guatemala. Then we're taking the Hawke Media team there in person, to do the renovation, learn from the experience, and connect with the local community. Help us reach our goal and make it happen!
This two-day school renovation is called an Extreme School
Makeover. Together we'll transform the school from top to bottom in a
weekend, working alongside local members and students to paint the
walls, garden, provide new learning materials, paint murals and help
with basic improvements that will create a better learning environment
for years to come.
EXAMPLE OF WHAT THE SCHOOL LOOKS LIKE BEFORE:
WE WILL PAINT, CLEAN, FIX, AND WORK HARD UNTIL THE SCHOOL IS LIKE NEW:
AND BY THE END OF THE WEEKEND, 60+ STUDENTS HAVE A NEW ENVIRONMENT TO LEARN AND GROW - PLUS WE HAVE BUILT BRIDGES THAT CAN LAST A LIFETIME.
WHERE FUNDS GO:
We partner with Glasswing International: a world-class
nonprofit organization that has done hundreds of these projects in
the past 10 years. Glasswing's philosophy is to improve on existing
infrastructures in schools, hospitals and community centers, rather
than building new ones. Their concept is simple: foster change by
investing in a community’s existing resources – its infrastructure
and its people.
This projects requires $5,000, donated directly to the nonprofit
to cover all supplies, materials, and tools needed to transform the
school in a weekend.
HOW IT WORKS:
Journey is a for-profit public benefit
corporation, with nonprofit partner Ushwara. Our approach has three
parts: transformation of self, community, and world.
The impact work on our trips is made possible by funding and
empowering world-class organizations, so that we know every project is
needed by the community, and sustainable for the long-term.
You, our community, helps make this impact possible as we grow.
You will get a full report on the schools when they're done, and we
hope to see you on another Journey soon.
THANK YOU!
