VC for Hope '09! Join the World as we work together to raise $50 000 to help build a school for the children Guatemala.
On Wednesday,
November 4th (Elementary schools) and Thursday,
November 5th (Secondary schools), students from around the Globe, in partnership with Polycom and Change for Children, will gather via Video Conference to help raise awareness and funds for the building of a school for disadvantaged children in Guatemala.
Over the course of this day, from 08:00-16:00 (MT), schools from almost every continent on earth will connect to each other and a
remote satellite connection in the hills of Guatemala, developing relationship and examining the impact of Globalization on indigenous communities.
Each school can register for one session, tailored to their age group: Elementary, Middle School, or High School. (See
Registration Form and
Program Description.)
Through this fundraiser event, we hope to raise over $50 000 for Change for Children, towards the builing of a school in Guatemala.
