Caribbean – Little Known Help Zone

If you’re in the area, come out and see LKHZ at the Bryn Mawr College staff association craft fair from 10-2 on December 3rd in Thomas Great Hall. As always, all money made will be donated to LKHZ causes, specifically sponsored students needs and a scholarship fund for next year.

This is a really exciting opportunity to raise money for causes and get the word out about the organization and mission amongst staff and alumnae from Bryn Mawr College. This networking will hopefully make fruitful connections for future partnerships.

For sale will be Key Of Knowledge necklaces, tab bracelets, shell rings, crayons, and other jewelry.

Hope to see you there!

Donations for El Salvador Orphanage

June 11, 2015May 26, 2018 Makenna Lenover

For the trip to El Salvador, Little Known Help Zone will be bringing a variety of fun books to the Remar Orphanage.

First, Little Known Help Zone would like to extend huge thanks to Salisbury Middle School for donating over 30 books to bring to El Salvador. These beginner level chapter books are perfect, as often times donations do not include advanced books like these. These will be perfect for people trying to perfect their english moving forward and the books are wonderful. All of these will be going.

Also going will be over 15 children’s books and 5 School Workbooks. Additionally, some toys and clothing will be brought as well.

These donations will be distributed to the kids at the Remar Orphanage and School.

Stay tuned for pictures from the trip!

Yoga Fundraiser Success

April 28, 2015May 26, 2018 Makenna Lenover

Saturday’s yoga fundraiser was a success, drawing some new support in from the community and creating a day of peace and philanthropy. A total of $70 has been added to the goal, which leaves a remainder of about $600 to go!

The class was wonderful at West End, taught by Jamie, and catered to all ages from 6 to 70! The event really showed how we all can join together to support one common cause.

Next month will be another fundraiser at Western Salisbury, and hopefully will bring us closer to the goal!

Monetary Update and Donations

March 12, 2015May 26, 2018 Makenna Lenover

At about the midpoint of the planned fundraisers, it is time for an update on the success of the 3 causes. The goal was $200 to send a child to an English Language Program, $200 to buy a playground toy for an orphanage in Honduras, and $360 to send a child to school for a year in Guatemala.

Little Known Help Zone has made wonderful strides, but more need to be made to reach these goals. In the future there will be a yoga fundraiser and another fundraiser at Western Elementary, and this will bring us closer to our goal.

If you would like to contribute further to these causes, please contact Makenna Lenover at littleknownhelpzone@gmail.com

Every dollar counts and this would make a huge difference.

$683 more to go to reach the goal of $760 for the 3 causes in Central America.

Thank you for all your support in these endeavors.
