Major Activities

Activity 2

Relief supplies: as part of our mission we collect and distribute relief supplies to several countries within africa and central america,including zambia, zimbabwe, uganda, honduras and guatemala. In the 2012/2013 fiscal year we collected in excess of 18 tons of supplies including education, hygiene and skills training supplies, sewing machines, yarn, crochet hooks, fabric, clothing, bed sheets, diapers, tools for gardening and construction, shoes, recreation equipment, school and reading books, computers and other office equipment and furniture. These items were distributed to local agencies working with orphaned and vulnerable children, women's clubs, hospitals, clinics and schools.

Activity 3

Volunteer expeditions- we rely on volunteers to accomplish much of our work in zambia. For many of the children we serve, having a caring adult to guide and nurture them is a rarity. During the 2012/2013 fiscal year we hosted 83 volunteers of all ages and from all walks of life. Their time was spent teaching children in villages, communities, street kids centers and orphanages a variety of life skills including reading,preparing food, personal hygiene, hiv and aids awareness, caring for and repairing their clothing, gardening, crocheting, sewing, carpentry,auto repair, and welding.the presence and caring of the volunteers helps orphaned and vulnerable children better understand their value and learn the skills necessary to make valuable contributions to their communities when they graduate from our program. In 2012/2013 our volunteers helped with the construction of pit latrines, created gardens for widows and helped with the harvesting of maize crops. In 3 separate villages they taught literacy, sewing, crocheting and conducted feminine hygiene training workshops.
