Review for Star of Hope International America Inc, Ellinwood, KS, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been involved with Star of Hope since 1986 and today like what is happeing even more! As President & CEO I am priviledged to take volunteers on work teams. When I see the sparkle in the eyes of these volunteers as they meet some of the chldren we help, it is a great sense of accomplishment.

In 2014 we managed to save a school in Haiti, build 2 churches, provide conferences for parents caring for children with disabilities and added classrooms to existing schools. This organization is well worth supporting!
