SHH Designates $10,000 for Por Venir Elementary School and La Mosquitia Projects

Razoo.com, a social networking site that unites those who want to make a positive difference in the world, awarded its top prize of $10,000 to SHH in its Change Your World contest on October 15, 2007. The contest, which started on October 2, 2007, gave Razoo members the opportunity to cast votes for various nonprofit organizations.

Money from the contest will be used to construct three new classrooms at Por Venir Elementary School, which must cancel classes during rain due to poor roofing conditions and hold middle school classes at night due to overcrowding. A portion of the money will also be used to purchase seeds for a community in the northeastern part of Honduras called La Mosquitia, whose crops were destroyed by Hurricane Felix in early September 2007.
