As mentioned in the News and Notes earlier this month, the education program for the 2026 school year begins in the first two weeks of February.
As February approaches, our window of opportunity to make changes and arrange alternative sponsors for students is rapidly closing.
If you are able continue your sponsorship and have not yet renewed, please confirm your intention and your method of payment, or let us know if you are unable to continue, by January 30th.
Our request for the sponsorship funds, or your pledge of sponsorship, reflects our need to notify our administrator in Nicaragua so she has the time to notify students' parents if the sponsorship is available in 2026, and/or to arrange for possible alternative sponsors.
We know this is a sacrifice for many. In these uncertain times, some of you may find yourself unable to continue your sponsorship(s). If so, please notify our office, and we will do our best to find alternative sponsors for your students.
If anyone would like to add a child to their sponsorship, please let us know in that same timeframe.
For anyone who currently has automatic account deductions, those have continued unless you have provided written authorization to stop.
Please continue to pray for the young people and families the Mission of Hope serves.
Thank you for your support and commitment to this vital program.
Sr. Debbie Blow, OP, Education Program Co-Chair
