Field Update: Funds have been received!

by May Y. on February 17, 2010

Coprodeli's operations team in Peru received the wired funds for Coral's multipurpose classroom project during the second week of February. Thanks to Coral and her friends, the Centro de Atención Externa (CAE or Youth Outreach Center) classroom at Colegio San Antonio will begin construction in March.

The equipment for the multipurpose classroom, including desks, chairs, a television, and DVD player, is scheduled to be purchased during the second or third week of March 2010, and installed in mid-April. Check back for more updates on the construction and progress of Coral's project!

New Project!!! We've impacted 300 lives already will you help us make it another 1500?

by Coral Z. on December 15, 2009

That's right we are on a role!! We were able to just reach out goal of $1200 for the Subtanjalla CAE Classroom in Peru! Thank you so much to the early supporters that made it happen!!!

Since we still have two events coming up in the end of December and now we've really starting getting on a role in terms of Art Walk connections in Flagstaff it seemed appropriate to get another project.

Well I've actually decided to tackle the San Pedro Multimedia Classroom project because we are still working on the core issue of education and this project even combines my interest in technology for education so I'm super excited about this project.

We will still be selling photography year round to fund these projects but straight donations are always welcome.

 Thank you soo much for your support!

$60 dollars donated at our Dancing for Charity Event!

by Coral Z. on November 23, 2009

Last night we had our first Dancing 4 Charity event in Flagstaff, AZ. We were able to sell 4 prints and had a $20 donation. We also had many other individuals take a look at the photography and take the information home so they could check out the website!

Hopefully we'll have a few more events coming up and can raise some more money for these students.

There's also some good news this week, found out one of my co-workers husbands has been in the art walks and sits on the board of the cultural partners here in Flagstaff. Hopefully we'll be making some new connections so we can be in the art walks in the spring, let's keep our fingers crossed!
