Welcome to 2024!
Dear Friends of Blessed to Be a Blessing,
We hope you enjoyed the holiday season and had a wonderful start to the new year. I am writing to you to thank you so much for your support of B2baB in 2023.
Your commitment to making a positive impact has not gone unnoticed, and we are truly grateful for your belief in our cause. With your help, we raised $1,314.30 in our Year End Giving Campaign. Although we were short of our overall goal, your support plays a vital role in our ongoing efforts to create equal access to international education. If you could not donate before the end of 2023 but would still like to do so, please click HERE.
With these funds, we can continue to provide necessary knowledge, passports, and scholarships to our students through the Equal Access Pipeline. Your generosity is inspiring and a beacon of hope for our community. As we navigate through 2024 and plan for the future, your support strengthens our foundation and empowers us to pursue our mission with greater determination. We are excited about the positive outcomes we can achieve together.
We most recently welcomed Daphney, our first Study Abroad Scholarship recipient, home from her semester in Seoul, South Korea. She had an amazing experience, and we will soon share her full travel story with you all. We eagerly await this upcoming summer when we will again provide scholarships for Denver youth studying abroad.
This Spring semester, we will be hosting our first ever in-school Global Access Passport (GAP) Program at my alma mater, Denver East High School, and will begin our Grant Coaching with the Colorado Resource Center Grant Corps program next week with hopes to fully fund Steps 1 and 2 of the Equal Access pipeline through grant funding in the years to come. We are excited about this year and hope to achieve our goals of hosting eight in-school informational sessions at local high schools and universities, providing passports and travel knowledge to 30 students, and awarding four study-abroad scholarships!
Once again, thank you for your kindness and support. We value your partnership and are excited to inform you about the impact of your donations and support throughout the year.
Remember, we are all Blessed to Be a Blessing, and let us continue to pass those blessings in our daily lives throughout the new year. If you have any questions or would like more information about our organization, please do not hesitate to contact us.
With sincere appreciation,
Shawn Wall
Founder/Executive Director
