Team members from Crecemos DIJO, a community education and nutrition center in Oaxaca, Mexico, share special moments of encounter with supporters in Boston.
The Spring of 2022 will always be a reminder of the darkness of the Ukrainian Crisis, but it will also represent the incredible generosity of our donors. This unexpected wave of contributions taught us that the act of giving transforms us: it fulfills an innate human desire, immerses us in hope, and renews our motivation to love selflessly.
During the cold month of December, while still largely stuck at home and with fewer than usual opportunities to be together, a number of individuals, families and friends decided to work together on a common initiative: raising awareness and funds for AVSI projects. Most groups made crafts of one kind or another and hosted sales or even went door to door. Another group of friends launched an on-line cooking class. People of all ages joined in, adults as well as kids as young as 5-years old, giving of their time, creativity and above all their love.
Over the Summer, a group of friends organized a fundraiser event in Boston to support Crecemos and raised $1,000 selling bracelets.
This past Easter, a group of friends organized a fundraiser event in Boston to support the AVSI-USA campaign “Get in the Game” and raised almost $600 selling Ukrainian Pysanky Eggs
This past Christmas, Laura Chiodini and a group of friends organized a fundraiser event in Boston to support AVSI-USA campaign “Get in the Game” and raised
over $1,000.
