Explain why you're walking You do not need to be a Common Hope expert to share why you are Walking for Hope. Get to know this brief info to feel confident in what you are saying! 1. EXPLAIN COMMON HOPE'S WORK Only 2 out of 10 children graduate high school in Guatemala. More than half of the population lives in poverty; so many families have to sacrifice education to provide other basic needs such as food and electricity. Common Hope is a nonprofit fighting poverty with diplomas in Guatemala. The goal: help children reach high school graduation, and in turn end the generational cycle of poverty. 2. EXPLAIN WHY YOU ARE WALKING FOR HOPE I have joined the Walk for Hope because I know education is so important and my Walk For Hope raises money to keep kids learning. (add your personal reason here)
3. EXPLAIN HOW YOU ARE WALKING THE EXTRA MILE I am walking (insert your walk goal, i.e. one mile per day) to raise funds to support education for children in Guatemala. Common Hope needs our help to ensure that families' basic needs are supported so that their children can focus on education. All funds donated will be used to provide academic support and distance learning tools, and invest in additional staff to meet the increasing demand for academic support.
