PENNIES FOR FRIENDSHIP
The breakdown of funds for Pennies For Friendship is as follows.
1. Fifteen percent (15%) of the total amount is placed in the Illinois Association for Home and Community Education (IAHCE) International Project Fund. This covers costs for the International Foreign Youth Exchange, expenses for the IAHCE President for the Triennial Meeting, the International Peace Garden, and supplies.
2. Thirty-five percent (35%) is used for travel expenses for the Homemaker Exchange, both from Illinois to a foreign country and for a foreign homemaker to visit us.
3. The remaining fifty- percent (50%) is sent to the Associated Country Women of the World (ACWW) for projects, which they determine to be most needful. Many other very worthwhile projects are funded with your contributions, which we send to ACCWW. These include the Save the Sight, Women Feed the World and Water Projects. The latter two projects are life sustaining projects that teach skills to people so that they can independently care for themselves and learn job skills. They empower people of other countries to advance from unbelievable conditions to ones that provide dignity and life support.

Certified Volunteer Units HOURS
What counts for CVU Hours:
Any time you are in an HCE meeting (Unit or Board)
Any time you go or take someone to get food or medicine.
If you help at the hospital or nursing home. (volunteer)
If you help at a school or church. (volunteer)
If you give a lesson and the time is takes to get ready to give the lesson, include the time you are at the class you took to give the lesson.
If you watch someone's child (not a relative) without pay counts.
To summarize anytime you give to others without being paid counts. See how fast you minutes count up---you will be surprised.
