What You Helped Accomplish for Youth’s Education + Perks!

Helllooooo Goodspero-ians!!

POST CROWDFUND UPDATE:

So this crowdfunding stuff…amazing experience.

Although we didn’t make it to our original goal, we did round up enough funds to impact lives.
We also connected with an amazing number of individuals, groups, organizations, and strangers who’ve since become our friends and allies on the quest to support youth in under-resourced areas.

Our original goal was to raise $200,000 and we got to about 3% of that goal. (…or 61% of the updated goal posted on our campaign, which ended up being $10,000). So what we did was take the same percentages we had allocated for each item in the original budget…and we allocated that same percentage to the actual amount that was raised…which was $6,110. So here’s what that broke down to….

BY POOLING OUR FUNDS TOGETHER…

We raised enough funds to sponsor 1 girl to complete secondary school through Room to Read’s girl’s education programs. We’re also in the process of establishing a small version of 1 classroom library in El Salvador…. where we’re headed next month for what’ll be Goodspero’s 2nd project abroad.

With your help, we’re recycling about 185-200 books to youth in Colombia and El Salvador…we’re in the process of working out a deal with foreign local bookshops and publishers.

And the final remaining funds (after PayPal & Indiegogo take their cut) will help us with the production of our documentary film.
