Traveling School Video

In February, Earth Lodge hosted a group of 12 high school girls for 12 days. They were one of the best groups we've ever had, and they took a day to go up to the El Hato School to visit with the children. The founder of the school, Gennifre, made a great video that you can see on YouTube. Follow this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFqsoBup2I8

A new Partnership and A new way to Donate

Earth Lodge will be partnering with the NGO Las Manos de Christine for the 2010 school. Las Manos will be providing English classes for the kids in the El Hato School.
Because Las Manos is a US registered NGO, now you can donate and receive a tax deductible receipt!!
Please make out your check or money order to Las Manos de Christine. Send your donation to 824 Cantebury Arch, Las Cruces N.M. 88005. Please include a note saying that the donation is for the El Hato School and if you have a specific request for what the money is to be used for (i.e. sponsorship of a child, reforestation program, food for the breakfasts, or misc. supplies). * Please include your address so that we can send you your tax deductible receipt.
