September 2014 – Little Known Help Zone

Fundraiser Cause #3- Honduras

September 25, 2014May 26, 2018 Makenna Lenover

The third and final country Little Known Help Zone will be helping this fundraiser is Honduras, a repetitive country in Little Known Help Zone’s history.

This time, we will be donating to Mama Tara’s orphanage, specifically towards their playground. Mama Tara supports the Miskito Indians, who live on the Mosquito coast and are caught in the fire of Honduran drug wars. The goal is to raise $200, hopefully enough to put in a seesaw, or another fun playground piece! It is a firm belief of Little Known Help Zone that while it is important to help with the necessities, it is also important to bring smiles and support the sheer delights of childhood.

To raise this money, we will be selling baked goods to bring smiles to children’s faces there. A smile for a smile.

Additionally, we will be sharing information about a great opportunity where coupon clipping can help Mama Tara. If you visit Common Kindess http://www.commonkindness.com/printable-grocery-coupons and create an account then chose Mama Tara, the orphanage receives a portion of the advertisement fee based off how many coupons are clipped for them.

Fundraiser Cause #2- Guatemala

September 23, 2014May 26, 2018 Makenna Lenover

The next cause that Little Known Help Zone will be raising money for is Mayan Families in Guatemala.

Specifically, we will be raising money to send a Guatemalan child to school for a year. For $360, a child can attend school for one year and further their education to move on in life and support their families.

Little Known Help Zone will be selling erasers and pencil toppers at $1 a piece to benefit these students, and hopefully enough money will be raised to send a child to school! Stay tuned for more!

Fundraiser Cause #1- Costa Rica

September 23, 2014May 26, 2018 Makenna Lenover

The fall fundraiser will focus on three causes in three different countries, and the first announced cause is the JumpStart program run by Amigos of Costa Rica.

Two hundred dollars pays for a student to attend this four-week intensive English Camp, and Little Known Help Zone is going to raise the money to send a kid to learn English by selling soda tab bracelets, a sustainable idea that stemmed from a trip to Costa Rica.

Since the majority of the crowd will be young kids, these bracelets will be sold for $4 a piece. The aim is to sell 50, because with 50 bracelets one kid can go to the JumpStart Camp!

The next few weeks will be sent making all 50 of the bracelets, and if you would like to order or help, please contact!

Just one of many facets of the fall fundraiser, this project should lead to many great things.

Stay tuned to read about the other parts as they are released, and read more about JumpStart here!
