For the past 5 years, we have conducted approximately 100 high-quality workshops based on the core human values - Lov

e, Truth, Non-Violence, Right Action, and Peace. These workshops have had profound impacts in students' lives.

2020 unfolded in a way that none of us could have imagined. And yet, in spite of the emotional, physical and financial toll we all have endured, we all have emerged stronger. As this strange and profound year comes to a close, we wanted to share a glimpse of our projects that you all have enabled from the past six years. Looking back on what feels like a lifetime ago, we’d love to thank all our patrons who have constantly supported us. We are forever grateful for your faith in us.
It has been our fervent goal since the inception of HOPE B~Lit to live in a world where children thrive, voices are heard, and borders exist only on maps. As Robert Frost said, “and miles to go before I sleep.”
Check out this video and take a moment to recognize all that we have accomplished together. It will bring back memories and a smile– it did for us!
As we come to the end of 2020, we concluded our last on ground project of the year in India. Farming communities were helped on the ground in areas of women empowerment, gender equality and overall sustenance via provisions of sewing machines, food, footwear and housing repair in different states. More on that soon!
There is light (and HOPE!) at the end of the tunnel. Always!
Stay safe and keep the faith as we leap into the new year!

"With HOPE, everything is possible "
Life is known to come a full circle! Today, our dream is turning into reality and we are filled with gratitude. We took a leap of faith with our new wing "Voices Unheard" to support children globally while highlighting their perspective. Our short film, "Got Cancer!" was born last year with the mission to raise awareness and funds for little superheroes braving the disease. We are overwhelmed and humbled by the response our labor of love has received globally. It was awarded the BEST HUMAN INTEREST FILM and it has already been featured on national television within three months of post production.

Cinema truly has the power to bring about change.We're now on our way to Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata to DONATE ALL THE FUNDS we raised for our little brave hearts. No-one should have to fight cancer alone, and because of you, these kids and their families won't either!
DAYS OF HOPE: Our team will be on-the-ground in three cities providing a day filled with music, Polaroid camera fun for kids, oral education, dance, gifts and funding for holistic care and education for the children braving cancer. We know this will go a long way for the kids and their families.

We want to thank everyone who supported us in our journey of "thought to action." THANK YOU for spreading the message of LOVE and HOPE. THANK YOU for believing in us. You make us dream bigger and because of YOU, we can do what we do. You are HOPE's HEROES, and this time, you are helping us serve young (and awesome!) SUPERHEROES braving cancer.

NO ONE should have to fight CANCER alone. And now they won't have to. Collectively, we can make a difference!

Meet our champions, our fighters. Many of whom will continue to fight, and we will too. And because they are BRAVE, we will be too.

We bring to you our labor of love, "GOT CANCER! " - a heartfelt and profound short film based on a true story depicting how children brave a disease they cannot fully comprehend, all the while teaching us how to deal with not only cancer but with life itself. Through this docu-drama, we want to shine a light on all courageous champions braving cancer and to honor the legacy of champions who are no longer with us. Come, join this fight!
