What a Month!

What a month the past few weeks have been. We have had a series of fundraiser events that have brought in over $30,000 for our work; and we have been laying the ground work to build toward a very busy summer of programs and projects.

As I type this message, Ben (HBI's Director of Operations) and I are headed to Peru for our Street Youth Symposium (please see the above flier). Our goals for the Street Youth Symposium are to facilitate collaboration and partnership between non-governmental organizations working with street and abandon youth in Lima and Arequipa. We know this is not going to be an easy endeavor. We are planning to follow-up our first symposium meeting with a secondary set of trainings and symposium in the fall.

Stay tuned to the Blog over the next week. We will be posting updates on the Street Youth Symposium meetings and providing more information about our full summer of activities.

The work of HBI would not be possible without supporters and friends like you. Thank you so much for making May a very successful fundraising period for HBI and thank you for your on-going dedication to the work of building bridges of collaboration and support.
