We won $20,000 in the Chase Community Giving contest on Facebook! If you voted, thank you very much. Now we have money in the bank and can continue to make our knitting program work for as many girls as we can in Bogota.

you wake up to a $1000 grant from RollGiving, the two part employee charitable giving program of the Roll International Corporation.
Gloria Ramirez: thank you for this wonderful gift.

Please read this and VOTE for us! We need every single vote to win the $20,000. Thank you so much, Jane

Many months have gone by, but we are still operating. We are looking for a permanent home for the program, and are looking into renting space in a mall. That’ll take more money out of our pockets, however.
There’s another great contest about to happen, with 200 cash prizes. It is taking place on Facebook. I don’t know the particulars yet. However, if you want to take part, you will be voting for COLOMBIAN ORPHANAGES. That’s us… Let me see if I can link to it here…

And more thank yous to those of you who chose US are your charitable contribution recipient this holiday season. We received over $1000 in donations. Thank you SO MUCH!

Our knitters are close to being proficient enough to sell their garments. We are approaching a whole new level with our vocational training project and will be learning as we go. Thanks for your support. And a very happy, peaceful and healthy new year to all.

Vote for us between Dec. 3 and the 11th: we could use this ebay gift certificate to buy more yarn. To make more items to sell, in order to have money to buy more machines.
