Haitian School Project

The school you so generously helped fund is nearly built! The hard working people of Franchipagne have all but completed construction of the school in three months!

Erin runs all of the buildOn school chapters in the South and West in the US and so yay for being in Florida! She's going to provide the logistical support, guidance and leadership to get our three high schools up and running in the upcoming month.

I believe so much in the work of both buildOn and Give Something Back International and I have no doubt that this is the beginning of a partnership that will change lives both here and in Haiti.

Donate to Give Something Back International to further out work of 'education to change lives'.

GSBI is an NGO whose entire program is run by volunteers, so all funds go directly to fulfill our mission.

Students at Kulachi Hansraj Model School in India, received awards from their school administrators. They are school Principal Ms. Sneh Verma; in the middle is school's manager Sh. R. Kumar and on the extreme right is school's chairman Shri Srideep Omcherry.

Working with Students from Walton Middle School in Virginia the students presented for the world a great website on "Sports and Recreation".  The website was awarded a second place in the Global Virtual Classroom Web Contest. Key to it's greatness, was not only the collaboration between the two schools, but their unique approach to the topic, stressing the value of personal participation.
