TIEs is an entirely crowdfunded project. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to our crowdfunding campaigns, we have been able to give many teachers the opportunity to travel abroad, share their insight, and learn new ideas about culture and education.

We are so very grateful for everyone who participated in our initial crowdfunding campaign in Jan-Feb 2015. Your financial support and belief in our mission enabled us to launch the TIEs program.

In May 2015, we called on the TIEs community again to support our partner school in Nepal by raising funds to make repairs needed after the devastating earthquake.  Over the course of 2 weeks, we raised $3500 to help our partner school make repairs. The mural pictured above lists the names of everyone who helped us raise the funds for these repairs. Thank you so much for your generosity.

In May-June 2019, the TIEs community rallied once again! Thanks to everyone who supported our 2019 crowdfunding campaign, we were able to expand our program into a second country: Thailand.
