Thanks for Giving

Buyanga Primary School students in the farm we helped create

     This is the season for gratitude and for giving.  While you and your family are planning meaningful gifts, kindly consider a contribution to the Buyanga School farm.  The Pen Pal & Popcorn Club specializes in sustaining relationships and sharing the best of our selves with our friends far away.  When you contribute to this project, you are able to follow the progress of this farm for years to come through this blog.  When you make a contribution through Global Village Connect, you will receive a gift card acknowledging the donation.  Really, what could be more meaningful than nourishing our pen pals for years to come?  As always, thank YOU for giving!   Here's the link to donate: Buyanga Farm Donation

This is Why we Do It!

Keep in mind, pen pals, THIS IS WHY WE DO IT!  

The students of Buyanga Primary School are grateful for all you are doing to ensure that their farm thrives.  Our efforts on their behalf is changing lives.  We can document the effect of our work:  School enrollment and completion rates have increased dramatically because the pupils receive lunch each day they attend school.  Not too many middle schoolers can claim to have made this kind of impact on the world.  You are powerful and amazing!  

This holiday season, consider a gift that you can watch grow: help keep the farm at Buyanga Primary School thriving.  Visit Global Village Connect and follow the TAKE ACTION>GIVE A GIFT links to make a contribution that we will foster together!  Thank you for caring.

These Ghouls Give

It's hard to imagine that one haunted house full of 100 zombies could could cultivate a farm that feeds hundreds of students in one school far away, but these are no ordinary zombies...they are also pen pals with hearts that never die.  Here are some highlights from our Halloween fundraiser.  Next time we'll share pictures of our sister school in Uganda and show you how our efforts are impacting the world.

As we celebrate Thanksgiving in our community, I want to thank everyone who participated in our haunted house, whether you played a role on stage, backstage, or you visited our haunted house and enjoyed some of Abuelita's incredible empanadas, you were a critical part of this event.  Thank you to everyone in this community who understands how gratifying it can be to give to others all around the globe.

Get your freak on!
