4. Gift of learning: Inspired by our e-learning center project in Roatan, total Sweetie Denise Johnson is paying it forward. She’s set a goal of sending five new computers to Roatan by Christmas 2009. Help kids in Roatan learn this holiday season.

“We strongly believe the way out of poverty for this beautiful Island is for the children to get a good education. Without a knowledge of computers and English these kids will be left behind and will not be able to secure good jobs as this Island moves more and more to an economy based on tourism. With your help we are teaching these children, both boys and girls, to become self sufficient and be able to provide for their own families in the future and break the cycle of poverty.”
