Caking on the Gratitude.

Our Cooking Up Hope students are mighty sweet! The pastry class is currently mastering cake baking and design. The program is a fusion of traditional and modern technology. Pictured are students baking with a coal powered oven. 

Liberia’s civil war, which ended in 2003, destroyed much of the country’s power sector. At approximately 12%, Liberia has one of the lowest electricity access rates in the world. Their goal is to increase access to 70% of Monrovia's population and 35% to the rest of the country by 2030.

Until then, we are purchasing a generator to assist with refrigeration challenges and needs. We are grateful to Project Redwood of Tides Foundation for the grant that made this vocational program possible. 

#Winning

Hope International School is proud to announce its soccer teams are on a winning streak. The girls team recently advanced to the semi-finals and the boys soccer league brought home a win against one of the top schools in Gardnersville!

Soccer is not only an acclaimed sport at Hope International but all across Liberia. In fact, George Weah, Liberia’s 25th president, was named African, European, and World Player of the Year in 1995 - an unprecedented achievement. His talents on the field were equaled by his activism on behalf of his homeland, where he worked to bring an end to a long civil war and then became active in politics. Weah was elected to a Senate seat in 2014 and has served as president of Liberia since January 2018.

Perhaps one of our students will follow in President Weah's footsteps. With your generosity big dreams like this are possible.

You Give Outside The Box.

$25,000 for HOPE!

When we were faced with trying to raise the funds needed to keep the school afloat for another year, without an event that has been an anchor in past years, we were a bit fearful.  We needn’t have been. Once again, as you always do, you made the seemingly impossible, possible. 

You ordered our boxes and lovingly prepared meals. You shared meaningful conversations around your own tables and you sent us kind words and photos. 

You also sent money. Money that is essential to the work we have partnered in with our friends in Liberia. The money that keeps the school humming along for the year. We did that together.

Aside from all of you givers and (un)Eventers, there are friends and businesses who gave from their hearts to make this (un)Event a reality.

Thank you seems so small, but trust me, our gratitude is deep and large.
