Sugi for Kids: What we can accomplish if we work together...

Welcome Off the Mat!

In sub-Saharan Africa, 11.6 Million children have been orphaned by HIV/AIDS and 1.8 Million children have HIV/AIDS themselves. 42 million children do not have access to basic needs---clean water, healthy food, or education.

You & I can help.

I am teaming with Off the Mat, Into the World to help African children infected/orphaned/affected by HIV/AIDs. I am raising $20,000 & traveling to Africa in February 2010 to work with these children.

With your help, we will provide:

COMFORT: We will buy new mattresses, water filtration system, and supplies for New Hope School and Orphanage, home to 350 HIV orphans.

EDUCATION: We will purchase land and construct a school for 325 children with Building Tomorrow and local villagers.

PREVENTION: With Shanti Uganda, we will build a birthing/vocational center for HIV mothers to prevent mother-to-child-transmission to babies.

PROTECTION: With YouthAIDS we will work to educate youth and prevent further future spread of HIV/AIDs.

Please DONATE to this worthy cause today!

What we can accomplish if we work together...

Like me, 120 people around the world have committed to raise money and awareness for this African children HIV project. So far, we have raised $120,000! To think of the beds, books, bricks, medicines, this money will buy for these children is truly great, but perhaps even greater is the message that this sends--these children will know that people in this world, that they don't even know, care about them and want them to be safe, healthy, and successful!

Now that is an accomplishment!
