2011 Education Campaign

Our HardtHaven children are dreaming about becoming pilots, teachers, hairdressers, bankers, and business owners, and they are counting on you to make sure they have the education they need to make those dreams come true.

Your support of HardtHaven’s inaugural Education Campaign will provide Elikplim, Minua, Rosemond, and Lebene the opportunity to attend Senior Secondary School beginning this September, and host a full-time professional Education Fellow who will ensure that all of our children reach their full potentials.

Please help us reach our goal of $12,800 the end of 2011 by pledging to raise funds for the Education Campaign, or by donating directly.

Andrea Heavener’s awesome fundraiser for our 2011 Ed Campaign

Where:	House Party! Alberta, Canada
When:	July 23, 2011
What:	Held a house party on July 23rd that raised $300! A special drink was created for the night. At the end of the party she collected all the bottles and cans from the evening and turned them in for the recycling money, raising $115 that way! Andrea must really care about our children because she auctioned off her cooking and cleaning services as another way to raise funds for HH . Her brother has paid her $75 and she will clean his bathroom for a whole year (that is dedication right there!). Her friends gave $25 and in return she promised to bring them homemade cookies when ever she visits.
