Three Wishes 2008
The Cafe Femenino Foundation has funded the following grants as part of the 2008 Three Wishes program. Checks for each grant were presented at the 2008 SCAA expo in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
| Grant Descriptions | Update |
| $3,000 grant for the Dominican Republic: Provided funding for 55 children, ages 5-14 years old, whose families were devastated by Tropical Storm Noel. This helped these families to purchase school books and the uniforms that are required to attend school. |
Update coming soon! |
| $3,000 grant for Peru: Provided funds to help provide transportation and housing for parents of children that were helped by the work of the FACES Foundation that performed cleft palate surgeries, burn surgeries, and work done on other operable tumors or diseases that could be repaired or helped. |
In December of 2008, three doctors and several support persons traveled to Lambayeque, Peru to perform facial repair and cleft pallet surgeries on children. The doctors were from the FACES Foundation based in Portland, Oregon and provided the medical skill and equipment needed at no cost to the patients and their families. |
| $3,000 grant for Colombia: Provided funding to assist coffee farmers whose farms were harmed by chemicals that were sprayed aerially, intended to destroy Coca plants, but instead sprayed on coffee communities. The grant was used to provide assistance to the producers who were most effected by this spraying, and to help them re-establish their coffee farms and their family gardens. |
