This Thanksgiving and holiday season, know that your giving makes a direct impact.
Nearly two months after the devastating earthquakes hit Sumatra, Indonesia, the needs are still great. To date more than 50 volunteers from 11 countries have pitched in at HODR’s Project Sungai Geringging, and we’ve made a lot of progress! Check out this short video, and please do all you can in this season of giving to help families and communities recover from disaster.
If you’ve volunteered with us or donated to a HODR project, you know first hand what the film “Happiness Is” is talking about. Giving of your time or money helps others in direct and tangible ways, and it just plain feels good to get involved.
“Happiness Is,” a new film by Andrew Shapter, is about the “pursuit of happiness” in America and the power of giving. HODR is excited to be a cause the film supports and if you pay attention you’ll see a couple of our project photos in the film!
Get Involved!
The film is helping spread the message about giving, and especially now, during the holiday season, what better time to get involved?!
Host a “Happiness Is” screening to raise awareness and funds for HODR! Get a group of friends together in your home or use a classroom or auditorium to invite hundreds of people, watch the movie, and ask for a “whatever you can give” donation to HODR. Email Beca at Beca@HODR.org for more info and check out screening suggestions on the film’s website.
Support HODR’s Indonesian Earthquake Response Project! Volunteer or make a tax-deductible donation to directly support families in Indonesia left homeless by the recent devastating earthquakes. Whether you can join us in Indonesia, donate, or help us spread the word and fundraise to get others involved, your support makes a direct impact on those affected. More info »
