Dear Friends,

It is hard to believe Christmas is only a month away and that once again the “Pro-Navidad” campaign is upon us. If you helped us out last year, thanks so much we raised more than $2500. We would like to do the same this year if possible.

If you don’t know what we are talking about read on. Since 2000, Volunteer Bolivia has organized a Christmas campaign “Pro-Navidad”. For the past 2 years we travelled to the small Andean village of Toro Toro where we will once again be celebrating the holidays. We would like to give a small gift to the children and food baskets with staples such as rice, sugar and powdered milk to their families as well as invite all to a cup of hot chocolate.

WHY TORO TORO??

Over the years we have developed a special relationship with the village residents and the area’s amazing natural beauty. We, and our volunteers, have benefited from the both the kindness and generosity of the families we have met and stayed with. Christmas is a great time and opportunity to give back to the community

Please consider joining us this year, even the smallest donation can help tremendously! We also encourage you to pass this information to friends and family. All help is appreciated..


HOW TO HELP

 Pass this letter on to friends and family so they can join the campaign as well.

 If you’ve got younger brothers and sisters in school, please give this information to them – in the past we have small fundraisers/events in schools to raise money.

 If you are a teacher please think about having your class do a fundraiser!!!
