A little goes a VERY LONG way! Check out what a small donation can provide for students at my school...
Cane End Government School
ST. VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES
Ave Stephen-Weeks, Principal; 175 students
Jessica Greathouse, U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer
Background from Jessica Greathouse: "This school, in the beautiful, agricultural Mesopotamia Valley, would like to enhance literacy among the students by exposing them to a variety of literature. A significant number of students are below grade level.
Thank you very much for considering a donation to Hands Across the Sea, Inc. in support of Jessica’s school project. This link explains the donation process. http://handsacrossthesea.net/HandsWishLists.htm , and here’s how you can ensure that the funds sent will go to Cane End:
1.You can be sure that the funds will go to Cane End because there is one person who speaks with all the volunteers, has access to PayPal and who tracks all funds, and that is me. There are no other people involved. Every single donation that Hands Across the Sea receives goes across my desk and I assign them all. If I don’t know who the funds should go to I always ask the donor by sending them an email afterwards asking them.
2.Towards the end of the PayPal process, there is a comments/message field. You won’t see it in the first step. Please write that you would like the donation to go to Cane End or Jessica Greathouse’s school.
If a donor forgets to write a message, I send the PayPal donor an email asking them what school they’d like to donate to.
3.If you want to make double sure, you can write me an email telling me that you just made a Paypal donation to Jessica’s school. My email is Harriet@handsacrossthesea.net.
4.Finally, if you feel more comfortable writing a check, you can write the name of the school in the memo line. Checks should be made out to:
Hands Across the Sea, Inc.

PMB 4218
