President's Message
 
Dear " . $Name .",

Greetings!

It's that time of year again -- SUMMER BREAK -- and Project Mañana's students have just wrapped up another great school year thanks to all our dedicated sponsors!

Now, as the children have some free time, Project Mañana is exited to host our second-annual summer camp for 120 children from July 23-27. Additionally, our leadership team and school staff are preparing new and improved curriculum for the 2012/2013 school year.

On behalf of 115 (and growing!) Project Mañana children, their families, and community, THANK YOU for "Working Together Today for a Better Tomorrow!™"

Please visit Project Mañana's website for more information on how you can partner with Project Mañana; including child sponsorship.

Working Together Today For A Better Tomorrow™

Sincerely,


Brian Berman, Founder & President

 









 
 
Cards, Cards, Cards
 
An important component that sets Project Mañana apart from other organizations is the one-to-one relationship that we help create between sponsors and the child(ren) they are sponsoring. In doing this, research has proven that children who have an active relationship with thier sponsor are more likely to succeed and excel. Primarily, this is a positive effect from the extra incentive of knowing someone cares about them.

Over the life of Project Mañana, we've been very encouraged to see how active our sponsors are. Cards, packages, birthday presents, and other small thoughtful gifts have been sent to many children in the Dominican Republic. Each time our team has the honor of delivering a package to a child, the response is always amazement, gratitude, and often tears of joy from the child and their family.

While it may seem like a small or insignificant token, sending your sponsored child a greeting card (or other small gift) has a HUGE impact on them. Often, they cherish the card for many, many years.

Last month, Project Mañana received greeting cards from three sponsoring families -- and we're excited to share the pictures (below) of the children receiving their cards.

If you would like to send a card or small gift to your sponsored child, please mail it to:

Project Mañana would like to thank the Rodriguez (North Carolina), Lindsey (California), and Berman - Kerry & Linda (California) families for blessing their sponsored children with a card -- and for their dedication and support!

Please join these families and Sponsor A Child TODAY!

Summer Camp Is Coming!
 

UPDATE: We are still in need of more sponsorships to send children to camp.

In July, Project Mañana will host its second-annual summer camp for the children in the community of La Yaguita de Pastor, Dominican Republic! With the success of last year's camp, many more children have already begun to inquire about this year.

To ensure each child receives the best possible experience and the most one-on-one attention, we will be limiting this year's summer camp to 120 children. This is a 140% increase from last year.

To help with the cost of the increase, Project Mañana would like to extend a special invitation to make a one-time donation of $10.00 to send a child to camp.

During their summer camp, children will enjoy:

  • Games
  • Arts & Crafts
  • Meals
  • Story Time
  • Singing
  • And Much More!

Please help! Click Here to send a needy child to summer camp.


Project Mañana's Annual Report


Project Mañana Growth Update
 
From September 30, 2010 (when Project Mañana officially open its doors) to September 30, 2011, Project Mañana has seen an amazing 238% growth in its core programs.

Project Mañana, through the generous partnership of many sponsors across the United States, is now providing education, nutritious meals 5-days per week, and guidance to 115 children in the Dominican Republic! That's an astounding 238% growth in our first year of service!

The growth is a true testament to the hard work of the Dominican-based Project Mañana team and the many sponsors who have made it their mission to help provide a Better Tomorrow for the children of La Yaguita de Pastor, Dominican Republic!

There are MANY more children in the community (we estimate another 200-300 conservatively) who desperately need education and nutrition. As more and more sponsors join the Project Mañana team, we will expand the programs to as many children as we can.

Please Help. Sponsor A Child TODAY!

 Project Mañana Needs Your Help!
 
Project Mañana is a non-profit 501(c)3 humanitarian organization dedicated to bettering the lives of impoverished children, their families and communities through nutrition, education, and guidance.

We achieve our goals through charitable donations and child sponsorship, which unites children in need with individual sponsors who wish to address the children's immediate and basic needs. Sponsorship gives poor children the tools and opportunities necessary for success by providing benefits and supporting programs for each child - primarily in the areas of education and nutrition.
