Join us for 30 Days of Hope, a San Jose service project that's physically bringing hope to Zambia, a place where over 64% of the people live on less than $1 a day. In fact, the life expectancy is only 38 years, making it one of the most difficult places on earth for a child to survive.

But we can help change that! March 6 - April 4, 2010, a 40-foot shipping container will reside in Downtown Willow Glen at the Church of God of San Jose (host of WG's Trunk or Treat). For the next 30 days, help us pack it full of needed items that will be used for community development!

Items do not have to be new and can include gardening tools, school supplies, fabric, sleeping bags, power tools, computers, etc. All donated items must be in good working condition.

Through Seeds of Hope International Partnerships, these items will be used to teach men and women trades, such as sewing, farming, carpentry, and gardening so they can lift themselves out of poverty. Some will also benefit a local orphanage and help drill clean water wells. In fact, this shipping container already includes a drill rig that will provide clean water for 500,000 people!
