Greetings!
On behalf of the staff and youth
of OYE, we would like to offer you our thanks for your continued
support and our wishes for a happy and healthy holiday
season.
As OYE completes another year, the
achievements of its 75 scholars and the hundreds of youth it
reaches testify to the strength of OYE's mission: education is the
tool that empowers youth to take hold of their futures, become
leaders and contribute to society.
We have enormous
gratitude for each of you for your continued support. Your
donations enable OYE to fundamentally change the lives of at-risk
youth in Honduras.
OYE's young,
committed and capable staff has worked hard to develop the
leadership skills of OYE's youth. This year's main focus has been
to train OYE's youth to plan, implement, monitor and evaluate
community focused projects. As a complement to their studies, OYE
youth completed courses on project management and implementation.
Today, they are responsible for managing OYE's major
programs: sports, magazine, radio, art and scholarships.
This very significant transition to youth-led
programs took place this last summer, and the youth
have demonstrated incredible competency as they have assumed these
new responsibilities. OYE believes this is the way to build the
present and future leaders of Honduras.
2010 was a
great year for OYE: it is growing as an established institution and
it is reaching more people. It is ready to scale up its
program.
The
only constraint OYE faces is funding. Foundations have
cut back in this economic environment and OYE has felt the
effects. It needs your support more than ever.
Contributions
to OYE can be made online through our Paypal
account.
OYE is a 501
(c) 3 tax deductible public charity. For more information, please
