\n<\/span>Looking back over our relatively short history, we can feel pleased with having provided our partner programs a long list of critical tools for success. \u00a0 We have deepened our relationships with each program and established the trust required in genuine partnership. \u00a0Ready and excited to take things to the next step, w<\/span>e are now asking ourselves the more difficult questions. \u00a0How can we make a difference long-term? \u00a0How can we help our partners become more self-reliant, more creative and effective, and less dependent on outside source of funding in the future?\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Philanthropy is more effective when funds are coupled with sharing of knowledge<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/div>\n
We have learned that our financial contributions have more of an impact when coupled\u00a0<\/span>with a sharing of knowledge. \u00a0Growth, progress and change can take place more effectively when this additional value is at the core of our philanthropy. \u00a0<\/span>In 2013, we look to combine your donations and our\u00a0financial grants with learning tools and program impact evaluations. \u00a0This will mean spending more time on the ground, researching exhisting models of development, and tracking where the most effective growth is taking place within our partner programs. \u00a0This will then help guide where future monies can be most appropriately applied.<\/span><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/span>Foundation member Linda DeWolf spends 6 weeks in SE Asia<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/div>\n
Spending time and engaging in person with these programs is at the heart of what we do. \u00a0Foundation team member Linda DeWolf is currently in SE Asia for a 6 week visiting 4 of our partner programs.\u00a0 It is in the simple sharing of meals, cups of tea and in just interacting that we can help our partners get where they need to go. \u00a0Follow Linda’ s travels on our\u00a0Facebook Page<\/a>. We also look forward to receiving further reports from her on the young painters at ODA , the new careers being launched for women at PIO and HUSK, and how your CEF scholarships students are coming along in Vietnam.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

This March\u00a0Mary Jo and Tracey set off to guide a full group as they journey to Uganda and Kenya \u00a0to visit our partner programs there… stay tuned for news from the field.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Other upcoming journeys will be announced throughout the year.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Once again, thank you all for making the work at GoPhilanthropic and its AMAZING partner non-profits around the world possible,<\/span><\/p>\n
