Villa of Hope










In preparation for the Sept 2008 launch, Sandy and Robin Pendoley are visiting the program sites of each of the core countries to finalize the itinerary.  You can follow their progress and learn about the incredible organizations they meet along the way by visiting the Travel Blog on the Forward Movement page of the website.
 
Recruiting Leaders
Roxbury LatinChris Stakich is busy recruiting the first class of TBB students. Having already visited more than a dozen schools to speak with students, guidance staff, and administrators, Chris has met great enthusiasm for the program.  Through his continuing efforts, and those of Sandy and Robin when they return from their trip to visit the program sites abroad, TBB will visit more than sixty public and independent schools around the US this year.  Do you know someone with the potential to be a conscious agent of change?  Send them to our website, where they can learn more about the program and download our application from the Apply Now page.
