HERMANO PEDRO SPECIAL EDUCATION SCHOOL
HERMANO PEDRO SPECIAL EDUCATION SCHOOL
One of our most special educational programs is, of course, the Hermano Pedro Special Education School, where we teach children afflicted by Down syndrome, Shaken-Baby Syndrome, Alcohol-Fetal Syndrome, and other forms of general mental retardation. Last year you sponsored the salaries for three special education teachers at this school, and this year, you, through ADF, are doing it again. The following photos catch a glimpse of the wonderful education that these 85 otherwise academically-deprived children are receiving thanks to your help...

Alix Donation Fund Christmas Project 2012/13
Alix Donation Fund Christmas Project 2012/13 - http://alixdonationfund.blogspot.com/ A D F + 1 (405) 250 9006 Greetings from Norman, where I have been the Director and Chief Curator to the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art at University of Oklahoma for more than five years. It is a challenging and exciting job, which allows me to use my logistical and managerial capacities as well as my creativity toward the development of Education. In the mean time, I am still raising money for the endowment in order to secure the future of the Museum. Last September, we celebrated the gift of the James T. Bialac Collection of Contemporary Native American Art. More than 4000 works of Art given to the University of Oklahoma which we displayed on more than 40,000 square feet of exhibition throughout the campus. Symposiums, lectures, original choreography, and Artist demonstrations took place during the opening weekend. The semester is busy with many other activities and we are planning our next three years of exhibition, including an International Biennale of Art based on the Weather. As usual, I have spent a week in Guatemala during the Thanksgiving 's break to visit different projects, collect information and finalize our goal for the 2012/2013 Alix Donation Fund campaign. I hope that all of you are well. As you remembered my "THANK YOU" email from April 2012, we had exceeded our goal last year with $70,900 which had helped more than 5,300 children and families. ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT. But of course, we have to start again each year. This is the information letter for the Alix Donation Fund (ADF) Christmas Project 2012/2013, which I promised to send you every year before the Holidays. Once again we will help Guatemalans through THE GOD'S CHILD Project and Project ECOFILTRO as well as Oklahoma children through the FOOD 4 KIDS project (Food Bank of Oklahoma). Although it may sound surprising to add a project in one of the wealthiest nations in the world, the US is also a land of contrasts and there is great poverty, especially in Oklahoma. You would be surprised to learn that 20% of children there suffer from hunger. Yes, you read me correctly: 20% of children haven't enough to eat on a daily basis in the land of McDonald's. Also, for the third year, I will add another project which I have started three years ago with my friend Philip Wilson in order to send more than fifteen Guatemalan orphans from the "Mi Casa" project to University each year. This project was made possible with a posthumous gift from my late nephew Louis Lebel and therefore this scholarship is named the Louis Lebel and Henry Hugh Wilson Scholarship Fund. We will also continue last year's technical innovation in the sense that I will ask you to make contributions directly to the project(s) you want to support OR for European donations please see instructions at the end of this email. To the extent of your generosity, the Alix Donation Fund (ADF) will finance each of these four projects as much as possible, pending your donation. Of course, my dream would be that together we could cover them completely! Let's try to make this Christmas, more memorable and enjoyable. Please remember that any donation you can give makes a real difference! In advance, thank you very much for your help, and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. (Ghislain@dhumieres.org ; or cell number: +1 405 250 9006) . I truly think these four projects are worthwhile and deserve again your favor. If you are keen on this project, please send donations to: The God's Child Project PO Box 1573 721 Memorial Highways Bismarck, ND 58502-1573 Please write your check payable to "The God's Child Project" BUT WRITE IN MEMO: ADF - OR - - http://alixdonationfund.blogspot.com/2012/12/donate-to-gods-child-project_11.html This project is registered as a 501(c)3 not-for-profit entity and will issue receipts for tax deduction purposes. Project 1: Special Education Students in Antigua & Surrounding Communities of Handicapped Students For the first four years, the ADF has been supporting the Hermano Pedro Special Education School (EEHP - http://alixdonationfund.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html ) by sponsoring the annual salaries of three professional teachers, as well as providing school supplies for the students. This project, which I had personally visited, is incredible and extremely well run. Four years ago 5 teachers were sponsored. Three years ago, after reviewing and visiting the project, I have decided to focus on better teaching and select 4 teachers with a better training and educative knowledge for special programs. The school will be able to welcome around 100 physically, mentally, intellectually and emotionally handicapped children from January to October 2013. When you click on the above link you are going to see some of these 100 special need children as they excitedly start out their new school year... thanks to you! The annual salary for 4 teachers and part of the school supplies is around $12,500 in order to help more than 100 special need children. IF you are keen on this project, please send donations to: Ecofiltro: One 4616 25th Avenue NE #495 Seattle, WA 98105 Please make your check payable to "Ecofiltro:One" BUT WRITE in MEMO: ADF/Ecofiltro - OR - - http://ecofiltro.org/node/10 This project is registered as a 501(c)3 not-for-profit entity and will issue receipts for tax deduction purposes. Project 2: Ecofiltro:One Our philosophy of development evolved as a solution to water needs in developing countries by using sustainable materials in a sustainable manner, including funding. We wanted to reduce the need for people to rely on long-distance aid and resources from overseas and at the same time provide them opportunities to participate in solving their water crisis apart from governmental infrastructure or NGOs. We arrived at a hybrid business model that uses urban filter sales to subsidize filter costs in rural areas. We reach rural communities by partnering with local community leadership, educating them about the importance of clean drinking water. Whether they get water from a natural spring, rain run-off, or contaminated well, our goal is to help villagers understand the health benefits of filtered water. We know the only way to do this sustainably is to organize communities to take control of their own health the same way affluent nations do. For villagers, first we educate, then provide the first filter, and finally we set up a financial infrastructure of savings and payments suited to rural lifestyle. This ensures that all filter recipients have the knowledge and resources to continue to buy filters for life, which means good health no matter what the water source is. One hundred percent of public donations fund home filters, and private donations fund field projects and administrative costs. Project: $15,000 1) We have been working in villages surrounding the municipality of San Martin Jilotepeque for the past year. However, our work in this area has only begun. We have delivered filters and set up our program in just under ten percent of the 120 villages in this area. Our field representative, Emanuel has been reaching out to more villages in the area and there is great interest in the project. We need your help to reach another 250 families in 2013. 100% of your donation goes to fund the first filter. We will take it from there and set-up a program to help the families secure filters for the rest of their lives. 2) In conjunction with several other charities who are working in the Guatemalan City dump, it is our goal to reach 1,000 families who live near the dump and spend their days sifting through trash to find valuables and recyclables. We are securing funding from several other charities but we could use your help to fund the first filter for 125 families. 3) In order for children from San Martin Jilotepeque to get pure water at school too, we will give 28 large filters (60 liters) to each local school in this municipality. For a total of 375 families and malnourished children (around 4,000 people) we will need a total of $15,000. IF you are keen on this project, please send donations to: Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma PO Box 270968 Oklahoma City, OK 73137-0968 USA Please make your check payable to "Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma" BUT WRITE in MEMO:ADF F4K-Norman - OR - - https://secure3.convio.net/rfbo/site/Donation2?df_id=2240&2240.donation=form1&JServSessionIdr004=sj77aet007.app304b This project is registered as a 501(c)3 not-for-profit entity and will issue receipts for tax deduction purposes. Project 3: Norman Oklahoma (USA) Food Bank project Help children to get enough food everyday You may be surprised to learn that one in five children in Oklahoma struggle with hunger on a daily basis. Fortunately, the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma's Food 4 Kids program - http://rfbo.regionalfoodbank.org/site/Donation2?df_id=2240&2240.donation=form1 provides chronically hungry elementary school children in Norman with a backpack of kid-friendly, nutritious food every weekend and holiday throughout the school year. Last school year, 550 children in 15 elementary schools in Norman benefited from the Food 4 Kids program. Before joining Food 4 Kids, these children had very little, or nothing, to eat between their free/reduced price school lunch on Friday and school breakfast on Monday. Please consider a gift to Food 4 Kids-Norman. $200 will provide a backpack of food for an entire school year for one child. Your help is vital to the lives of these children. This year, the ADF is trying to raise $10,000 in order to help at least 50 kids. Checks can be made payable to MI CASA (WITH MEMO ADF) and will be deposited on the orphanage account. Correspondence and donations can be sent to the following address: MI CASA \ QB-JE GUA016 P.O. Box 02-5368 Miami, FL 33102 This project is registered as a 501(c)3 not-for-profit entity and will issue receipts for tax deduction purposes. Project 4: Louis Lebel and Henry Hugh Wilson Scholarship Fund. The Guatemalan orphanage, Mi Casa - http://www.micasaonline.org/ , located in Zona 10 in Guatemala City has been welcoming, feeding and educating more than 350 street kids every year for the last 40 years. Many of these children are very hard workers and deserve to go to University but have no funding to support their hope. The Louis Lebel and Henry Hugh Wilson Scholarship will help more than 15 students each year from Mi Casa to go through University and be able to give back to the community. By clicking here - http://alixdonationfund.blogspot.com/2012/12/blog-post.html you will see the photos and bios of the 18 candidates for this years scholarship. To support their education, the ADF is raising $20,000 which will cover the higher education cost. TIMING: For logistical reasons, I ask that you please send your donation as soon as possible, as the need is huge as usual and the situation really difficult. My Father is kind enough to receive your gift and will deposit it to my account, from which I will transfer it to the GOD'S CHILD Project, ECOFILTRO or the FOODBANK directly! Shortly after your gift, you will receive a "thank you note" from them, and later on I will send you a Thank You email with photos and details about each of the projects to help those less fortunate that we were able to undertake. Thank you once again for your love and support for the poor. You can't imagine how much I appreciate your kindness and consideration with this.
