Supporters and Friends,
 

Many of us are enjoying summer holidays, when we can escape the heat, and enjoy a holiday away from our usual routine. For the world`s extreme poor, the hot season equates to greater hardship with longer treks for clean water and less food to eat. With your ongoing support, families who were suffering a year ago, now have year round access to clean water and ample food for eat. Unfortunately there are many, many more people in dire need of help. We look forward to your continued support.

 

As you may know, we recently concluded a season of dinners in Nagoya, Tokyo and Osaka. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for the generosity of all our sponsors and participants and for the support of our members. With the money raised, HOPE is able to assist even more families in their quest to leave poverty behind forever and become self- reliant.

 

Thank you.

On Friday July, 9 the ascent to the top of Fuji, sponsored by H&R Group, began for 29 participants, including support staff. Read more to find out how many made it, how old our youngest participant was, and how much was raised.

 

 

 

Debuted at Gala dinners in Nagoya, Tokyo and Osaka, now everyone has the chance to watch, or watch again, the HOPE Realized Video. Take a journey to see how Cambodia got to where they are and how HOPE is helping the poor attain a life of self-reliance.
