ALL BELONGING TO THE WORLD  BOOK
proceeds will be donated to scholarships FOR deserving young women from West Africa under our Bourse Jackie programs 

Most of our funding for our Bourse Jackie programs come from foundations, public and private that, like Caravan to Class, have a passionate interest in seeing deserving young women from West Africa realize their dreams. An introduction or referral of our work to connections you might have with potential donor-foundations always significantly increases the chances of a funding that leads directly to providing additional scholarships. More than 97% of our funding goes directly to educational support. Thank you for any help you may provide in this area.
Sincerely and with gratitude,


Barry Hoffner
