This photo says it all: "Creating Hope and Opportunity". The Cape Elizabeth 2013 Safe Passage team had a memorable experience volunteering at Safe Passage. The Guatemalan children seemed to enjoy our Olympics and Spelling Bee projects, in which we combined academics with fun. We noticed that the children were willing to engage in activities, regardless of the fact that we were yet another group of volunteers with whom they worked. They had a genuine desire to learn and work with us. The smiles on their faces said it all.
The program provided hope and opportunity to the Cape Elizabeth students because they now have a new perspective on life outside of our town. Many plan to use this service team opportunity to continue volunteer work in their school and community and some are going to sponsor a child in the Safe Passage program.
Thank you to the many community members who supported our fundraisers throughout the year. Also, a big thanks to our major donors: the South Portland - Cape Elizabeth Rotary Club, the Cape Elizabeth Education Foundation, and the Cape Elizabeth High School Safe Passage Club.
Sincerely,
Cape Elizabeth 2013 Safe Passage Team
