Argentina Office Roof Leaking
Our co-workers in northern Argentina work diligently to keep costs at an impressive low level. Sometimes things happen that were not expected but kind were. Things like a roof deteriorating over time and leaking!
The leaks are so bad and widespread they had to move all the computers, files and work out of the office. David Johansson and his team are working in a temporary location without internet making communication difficult.
The cost of repairing the roof is estimated to be $2,000 USD. Please consider helping to defray this expense. It would encourage them and allow them to continue serving the Toba children.
To help, simply CLICK HERE to make a safe on-line donation. Enter the amount in the Where most needed box and make a note in the comments that this is for Argentina roof.

Be on Guard for Telephone Scams
I have heard of attempts by thieves to trick someone into wiring money to them. It usually is along the lines of someone you know is in trouble in a foreign country and needs help. The caller often seems to know enough to fool you and sounds genuine.
If you you receive a message from someone claiming to be part of Star of Hope asking you wire money do not.
While I haven't heard of anyone being scammed by using the Star of Hope name, I want to make sure it doesn't happen. That's why I want you to know that our staff and personnel would never ask for funds to help in that manner. - Barry Borror
