You'll get a lot of NO's, but someone will say YES.
As an organization that is completely volunteer run, Manos has always been grateful for its donors, and has
never been shy in asking. As one volunteer put it, "all they can say is NO, and you move on to the next person."
We pride ourselves on our members who take it upon themselves to share what we do with others. It's been
through that kind of sharing that Manos has received more support---because someone out there said "yes." On
that note, another opportunity has rolled around for Manos members to show their colors by sharing the latest
news about MPPs (Manos Program Partners). Manos is looking to individuals, families, and businesses to
support a program. You can click here for details and then head out to share. Remember, you'll get a lot of NO's,
but someone will say "Yes!"

- For the holidays, instead of gifts, Volunteer Maria Peguero has asked her
friends and family to give a donation to Manos in her name. - Yummy Boba Restaurant (of Artesia, CA) has given their hand in

place a donation box at your business, please send an email to

asking for 1Yuan a month, where a little goes a long way, and every penny
adds up! - Long time volunteer, Alvin Leu opens first ever Barbershop / Street wear

In October, children of Ping Shan, China enjoyed their very first Manos Camp.
Ping Shan was just recently added as a second site for Manos Programs in
China and this small mountain village was a buzz with excitement.
The 2-day camp called "Walk the World II" brought the U.S., Mexico, Cuba,
and Vietnam to the pint-sized explorers, teaching them language and culture.
They also had a chance to represent countries in a series of competitive
games. Finally, international unity prevailed as the camp ended in food and
festivities. A first time camp for new Manos kids and a kick off to more
exciting Manos activities---kids and volunteers alike are looking forward to
the year ahead. Click here for more photos from Ping Shan.
