Christmas Gift Basket Campaign

Christmas Gift Basket Campaign

Dear Volunteers and Friends,

The Ecuador Volunteer Foundation sends our greetings during the holiday season and, as always, we wish you our best wishes during the upcoming year. It is almost the end of 2011, and we have organized a new Christmas campaign to share the holiday cheer with the people most in need in Ecuador.

This Christmas, we invite you to join our "Christmas Gift Basket" Campaign to buy gifts for 100 low-income families living near extreme poverty. We are eager to share this campaign with you to support our communities in Ecuador.

Each Christmas Basket has a cost of $50 USD, each of which offers the basic food supplies to support an entire family for one month. Our goal this year is to raise $5,000 USD before December 31, 2011 in order to fulfill this objective, but we need your help. Today, we are only asking for your support to help move forward with our initiative of change to make this dream come true for the some of the most impoverished people in Ecuador. We know that together we can achieve this goal.

We really need your support, and even the smallest contribution can make a big difference in the lives of one family. Please help us make this holiday season one to remember.

HOW TO MAKE A DONATION

We are currently in the process of setting up a bank account in the US to facilitate the donation process, and we will let you know as soon as that account is ready. In the meantime, if you are interested in making a donation, please email us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2012
