Dear Friends of MASCP,

Thank you for all your support so far!  We are so grateful for your donations and have made progress toward our goal.  We still have not reached our goal of $1383.25 to fund the repairs to the Arcatao Youth Development Center. 

Can you help?  

Donate by midnight on December 31st for your last chance to enter the drawing for a Finca Coffee gift certificate.

We can do this together!!

Your donation this year will go to The Sue and Art Lloyd Youth Development Fund. Did you know that Arcatao is one of the safest places to live in all of El Salvador? The reason is that they have been focusing on youth initiatives intently for 20+ years. In doing so, they have managed to avoid the gang recruitment that plagues so many other places in El Salvador. What an amazing thing to support! 

This year, they’ve asked us to help them remodel an office space for the Youth association of the municipality of Arcatao. The current board of the community association “April 11th Heroes” has given to the youth association a space on a free loan for five years. They need wall and floor repairs, electrical installation (there are currently none, which means no light bulbs for meetings), a handrail for security, and paint for the front wall where they have plans for a mural.  Can you help?  

If one person donates $300 we will have enough to pay for the installation of lights and electricity.

If three people donate $100 we will have enough to buy the paint.  

If one person donates $75 we will have enough to buy a door.  

If four people donate $50 we would have enough to fix the roof.

If four people donate $25 we will have enough to repair the walls.

If everyone who receives this email donated $10 we would be able to complete ALL the repairs necessary to give them a safe meeting space for youth development. The total needed for their entire project is $1383.25.  

If you donate before midnight on December 31st, you will be entered into a drawing to receive a gift certificate to Finca Coffee, the only Salvadoran coffee shop in Madison!

A sincere THANK YOU  from MASCP and from the young people of Arcatao for your contribution to the Sue and Art Lloyd Youth Development Fund! With your help, the upgrades and repairs to the Youth Association Office will become a reality!
