| Sponsor John's big demolition by donating to 'volunteer@hoopperu.org' on PayPal |
How difficult is it to single-handedly demolish a building? John Vecchio from New York state is trying to find out.
Work will soon be starting on HOOP’s brand new community centre, and John has been smashing down walls, tearing off roofs and breaking up hard concrete floors to make way for construction.
It’s not that he has a personal vendetta against the old school building (as far as we know!). In fact, he has taught many fine classes of English there. But now, John has made it his challenge to personally demolish the old building to make way for the new.
With John’s help, HOOP will be able to start constructing a new, safe building to teach more children, offer more community programmes, and provide an amazing resource to help break the cycle of poverty in Flora Tristan.
John has already spent more than 100 hours working as a free demolition man for HOOP. For him, nothing says “I love education” like smashing a school to pieces.
HOOP is asking for donations to sponsor this great feat of human destruction. We need funds to go towards fitting out the new school with furniture, equipment and to get our new education and health programmes up and running so we can help more families than ever in Flora Tristan.
How can you help? Visit PayPal and sponsor John’s demolition by sending a payment to volunteer@hoopperu.org. Please write ‘man vs school’ (and tell us who you are) in the PayPal ‘notes’ box and we’ll keep track of John's fundraising total!
