We are pleased to have a dynamic group of supporters, both young and old, from all over the country. If you would like to make a financial contribution or you are interested in sponsoring an orphan, please visit the "donate" page of our site.
We are always seeking new enthusiasts who are willing to spread good words about the project and engage their local communities. If you are interested in helping out, we would love to have a conversation with you and discuss different ways we could collaborate together.
If you are looking for some ideas as to what you might be able to do, check out the ideas below.
"We started a Penny War to raise money for The Olevolos Project. We wanted the kids in Olevolos to get two pregnant cows and school supplies. The kids at my school all brought in pennies and I helped count them. I wanted to do this project so I could help the kids have things that I have in America."

"When we learned about the project, we were inspired and wanted to help contribute to the education of the children, so we started an organization called Be.The.Change. In August, after hosting a benefit concert, Be.The.Change t-shirt sales and other fundraisers, we were able to raise and donate $6,600 to the construction of the nursery school."

"The Laurel Skating Team and the Olevolos Project joined together to have fun, raise funds and awareness of the Olevolos Project at Thornton Park. We pre-sold tickets to the Laurel community and then sold plenty of tickets at the rink, where we performed "Thriller" and then had an open skate. During the open skate, the Olevolos Project participants held a bakesale rinkside."

"My sisters and I sold t-shirts at our school during lunch and gave a speech at an all-school assembly to introduce and promote the project to the students and teachers. The shirts are worn all the time and every day you can walk around and see someone wearing one!"
Andi McIntosh and Greenhills School
Donation: 1,300
"I had a small birthday party and asked the invitees for donations to the project in stead of giving me a gift."

"I sold pop in front of our garage sale and my brother said "Well why don't we donate all the money we make at the garage sale to the project?""

"Andrew and I donated money to The Olevolos Project instead of purchasing favors for our wedding. Neither of us could rationalize spending hundreds of dollars on bubbles. It was much more rewarding to give money to such a great cause."
Sarah Bowes
Donation: 500
"We sold lemonade at school on Wednesday mornings and then when it got cold we started selling hot chocolate!"
