Help Us Raise $10,000

We need your help! For every $700 we raise we are able to cover the entire participation costs (food, lodging and local transportation for 8 days) for one participant in need. Considering the costs of other similar programs (on average $2000 for a week long training) this is a great bargain. We believe that your creativity and generosity can help us to raise our goal of a $10,000 for the 2012 IIPE. This is enough money to provide more than 14 full scholarships.
