Making The World A Better Place, One Child At A Time
Children at the Dago Primary School receiving a gift of pencils, pens, etc. How many of them will get to high School? That is up to YOU!!

Making The World A Better Place, One Child At A Time

A few months ago we received an almost $800 donation from someone who had been a student of mine in my early days at Bartlett High School, long before I started the Bernard and Elsie Weiss Dago Scholarship Fund. She had just finished her Doctorate and had promised herself when she received her first check on her first job she would make a donation to the scholarship fund. Needless to say this was incredibly special.

In this same spirit, I ask each of you, as we begin the final two months of the year, and on Jan. 1 we will select more bright and hard-working children from Dago, Kenya to go to high school, to donate whatever amount you can afford. No amount is too small. Help us to give real HOPE and a high school education to these children as we work together to make the world a much better place, one child at a time.

To Donate on-line go to www.hopefordago.org; Click on Donate Button Below; Directs you to our PayPal page; Pay via credit card or PayPal Goes directly to the scholarship account

To Donate by check; Mail a check to "Village Volunteers"; 5100 South Dawson Street, Suite 202; Seattle, WA 98118; Write "Weiss Scholarship Fund" on the memo line

All donations are tax deductible! Asante Sana
