The Blog of Casa De Sara

Happy Halloween Everyone!
Casa de Sara is starting a new fundraising goal that we call “500 for 5″. We are asking 500 people to raise five dollars, fifty dollars or five-hundred dollars and so on. Kids can get involved too by raising five of anything. Five quarters, five nickles, five dollars, five hundred pennies, even five hundred dollars or more. Since this is the 5th year of our school, (8th year of the organization) we chose “5″ to celebrate. You may be thinking that five dollars is easy to raise…and it is. Most people could easliy spend that on fast food, a couple sodas or bottled water. Maybe its even someone’s allowance. But, for Casa de Sara five dollars goes a long way in Bolivia to help support our programs. This is a great fundraiser for schools, church youth groups, and other organizations. When we work with kids on a fundraising project we give them the chance to decide how the money should be spent. We provide a list of needs or projects and the kids can decide how to best use their donations. Kids love that they can make the decisions that can help change other kids lives. It connects them to how far money will go in a third world country and gives them a chance to see their donations work according to their plan. So, we are asking church groups, schools, clubs and even neighborhoods to get involved with us in this fundraising effort. And of course, we don’t underestimate the power of the individual! We need your support and this is a great way to get involved with Casa de Sara!
