The School
Estancia Santa Gertrudis is a school that educates, feeds, and improves the lives of about 40 students in Danlí, Honduras.
The Problem
This year, their budget has lost 30% of its funding from the government and other donors.
The Solution
Natalie and I are running the Vancouver half marathon to fundraise to help lessen the funding gap.
Who We Are
Seven years ago, when I was a lucky Rotary International volunteer in Danlí, Honduras, I worked at Estancia Santa Gertrudis. Since that day I made a promise that I would do what I could to continue to help the students in whatever way I could, mainly to help fundraise for food. The past few years their programs have been growing, and they have taken on even more students in the area to feed, educate, and clothe. Natalie is kind enough to take on this cause as a fundraiser as well, and together hopefully we can fundraise at least $1,000 to improve the lives of these children, and make sure they are able to eat.
How You Can Help
Please consider making a donation to sustain the food programs at the school. No amount is too small! Your dollar stretches further than you may think! Please consider making a donation to a cause that is very close to my heart!
