Good news!

The 136 farmers we were able to help plant crops are thrilled - corn is 7-10 feet high and people know they will eat during the dry season.

Thank you all for supporting our efforts to keep these crops growing and farmer's families fed!

More good news!

Part of your wine for water

dollars are already being putto good use! JustHope, with the help of other solidarity partners, recently replaced the burned out pump in one section of the Chacraseca water project. The people of the community raised $1500 as their contribution and JH Partners and friends added $6000 to that! 140 families were without water for two weeks - but it would have been much longer without your generosity.

Don't forget to mark your calendars! Giving Tuesday is December 2! That's only 12 days away! And Donate Now/Constant Contact are matching donations on that day! More Info Here
