Summer is A’coming
Hi world leaders,
The summer season is upon us, and it’s a great time to celebrate our accomplishments from this year. Thanks to the efforts of young people like you, thousands more children will have the opportunity to attend school and get out of the cycle of poverty—now that’s a cause for celebration.
In this issue, we’ve included stories and opportunities to help you keep the momentum going until the fall. Check out Mallory’s story for a leadership opportunity and read the Ecuador article for information on the country, the people and how you can visit. For summer opportunities or to discuss your plans for the fall, contact us anytime.
Thank you so much for all of your incredible work this past year—it has been unbelievable. Stay tuned for new and exciting programs that will be launching in the fall.
Enjoy the sunshine!
With momentum,
