WSU Hospitality - An Evening on the Nile

Recently my team and I have been working on an amazing opportunity that was recently presented to us.  We have teamed up with a Hospitality and Business Management Event Planning class on the Washington State University campus.  This is such an exciting opportunity for us as an organization to be working with 42 students to spread the word of our organization.  The class will be raising money to help put on an event for Wash Their Worries Away.

As an organization we reached our goal of $5,000 and we were able to send three washing machines and two dryers to an all boys orphanage in Zagazig, Egypt.  We are so excited to complete this last goal and know that this will help the orphanage be able to run much more smoothly.  Our hope is that this free's up time for the understaffed facility to spend more time with the kids.  Our newest mission is to raise $20,000 to help buy a Bus for the boys so they can safely travel outside the walls of the orphanage.  Due to the political unrest in the country, we want to make sure that the future of Egypt is well taken care of and not walking around in unsafe areas.  We can't thank the class enough for their support in our organization and hope that you will help contribute to make the event a success!
