Progress Report

Combining both webpages' contributions, as well as donations in person, my grand total as of now is $280.00! This is an amazing start, putting me over a quarter of my way to my goal! Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed so far! As blogspot doesn't automatically track donations like my gofundme page does (http://www.gofundme.com/ecuatrevor), I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has donated so far. Thank you to: Sue McLeod, Diane Stevens, Lynn & Kelly Buller, Enid Frankgate and Kevin Doerksen! Thank you also to everyone who has shared my webpages around so far! I hope to make everyone proud down there and I know that your donations are really going to go a long way! My goal is in reach - with everyone's help, I can get there!!

Trevor Buller - Help, Learn & Discover

Hi everyone!

My name is Trevor Buller and this summer, I am lucky enough to take part in an incredible endeavor put on by a Vancouver-born organization called "Help, Learn and Discover". Along with over 100 other volunteers, I will be flying down to Ecuador and building houses for a village in need.

Unfortunately, many families in Ecuador do not make a high enough income to pay for both housing and the education of their children. By providing a roof over their heads, these families can direct their income to properly educating their children, allowing them to break free of poverty.

I am so, incredibly lucky to be able to join this team and impact the lives of so many people! But in order to make this project a huge success, we need your support. It costs approximately $5000.00 to build a house and our goal is to build 20 homes this summer! My fellow volunteers and I from across the country will be working hard fundraising this summer and overall, each of us hope to raise $1000.00 for the campaign. Although it will be difficult, I hope to reach my goal by the end of May.

Any donation to this project is greatly appreciated! Every penny of the funds that we raise are held onto, not by the company but by our volunteers and directly used to pay for building supplies from a store in Ecuador. HLD makes no profit from this campaign and all the volunteers are paying out of their own pockets to fly down and stay in Ecuador.

When the project finishes in August, I will update everyone with pictures and stories about how your contributions helped these people in need! Thank you so much for your support!!
