IT HAS BEEN A YEAR SINCE Handing Out Hope began its journey, and we have come a long way. From the completion of our fi rst project in the Philippines, to the countless fundraisers and most recently, our partnership with School on Wheels, we have been busy providing hope and opportunity to communities that once seemed hopeless. Now, a year later, we fi nd our board expanded with three new board members, who include Peter Aguilera, Kristin McLeod and Simbi Mahlanza, all of whom bring an energized passion to the vision of Handing Out Hope. We have completed two projects, we have three upcoming projects and we are driven by more passion than ever before. As we enter into our second year, we are excited and looking forward to the difference that will be made in many of the lives of those who remain in underprivileged communities throughout the world. Here is to another year of hope, cheers! Happy Birthday Handing Out Hope.
