What One Child Can Do

For her genius hour/inquiry project at Eastern Mennonite School, Isabel decided that she would like to do a service project to benefit Guatemala. She decided to raise money for the Bunk Bed Project (Tamara Hillstrom El Amor de Patricia.) Her goal was to raise $208 dollars to purchase one bunk bed for a family in need in Guatemala. She decided to make and sell slime at school two mornings a week through February. She sold Trident gum, squishy balls, and received donated earrings from a generous EMES family with children from Guatemala. She also received multiple small donations. She spent countless hours making slime, getting up extra early to set up her products at school, and showed so much heart and dedication for the project!! As of yesterday she has exceeded her goal and raised over $561.20 to benefit Guatemala!! She is still collecting donations through the end of the month and will submit the money the first week of March. She hopes to buy a bunk bed, stove, and water filter for a family in need, then donate any remaining money to the children’s home El Amor De Patricia. You can learn more about the project at http://www.theloveofpatricia.org/ 
One eleven year old girl with a huge, kind heart, and a passion for helping others is making a difference!! We love her and her kind heart so much! <3
Her dream now is to visit Guatemala in person and help families in need. (Hopefully we can make that happen in a few years!!)
If you would like to make a tax deductible donation in honor of Isabel, please visit (please put Isabel's name in the memo):
