The story is one of dreams coming true. It started with a Mayan
teacher's dream of free education for the people of his village and it spread
from school children to the community of Redmond, Washington. It is now
spreading to people and communities and people throughout the U.S.. This has
become a reality because of you- people who decided they would be the ones to
make these Mayan students dreams come true. This school is built on the
kindness of children and the generosity of our communities. Today the project is larger than ever; our project is supported
by three Redmond schools and a growing base of individual and corporate
donors. In 2007 we raised over $75,000- an AMAZING year! Through a special
donation we are adding school programs in a second village and we're
investing wisely to support education in Guatemala for years to come!
INCOME · Friendship Week: $17,534 · Other fundraisers: $2,210 · General Donations: $40,526 · Grants: $2,200 · Corporate Matching: $9,452 · Other income: $3,706 Total Income: $75,628 EXPENSES · School Staffing: $12,414 · School Operations: $2,300 · Friendship week/auction items: $3,590 · Other foundation expenses: $3202 Total Expenses: $21,506
In our mailing of the Annual Report, we inadvertently missed
some very important donors. We appreciate these folks and all they do for our
organization.
