Project Ascend Central America hasn't added a story.
In January, we received a generous donation from a local (Kansas City) business which allowed us to help hundreds of kids in rural Honduras start school with basic supplies, as well as support their teachers with basic teaching materials. Now that we're midway through the Honduran school year (which ends in late November), supplies have run out and enthusiasm wanes; kids begin to miss more days of school, and some even stop going altogether.
This time of year it's more important than ever to support these teachers and students before burn-out sets in. Funds from this campaign will be used to replenish basic supplies such as notebooks, pencils, erasers, as well as some basic supplies for teachers.
In addition, Project Ascend hopes to be able to collaborate with Chispa Project, another organization based here in Tegucigalpa founded by a friend of mine, to help provide books and create school libraries in some of the most neglected rural and urban schools in the country. A portion of the money raised through this campaign will go toward Chispa Project and their mission of building a culture of reading in struggling communities. For more information on this wonderful organization, you can visit their website at chispaproject.org. We are hoping to partner more frequently with Chispa in the future!
