Sugi for Kids: Back-to-School for One-and-All!

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!

Back-to-School for One-and-All!

It's that time of year when our little ones head back-to-school with new backpacks, lunch-boxes, & crayons, but many children have no school to attend. Building Tomorrow is changing that one school at a time and we can help.

I am heading to Africa to help build a ten-room primary school for 325 orphans. You can help by donating to purchase needed supplies (listed below) at www.sugiforkids.blogspot.com:

Set of pens & pencils for a whole class: $10
Bag of cement: $25
Desk set (seats three kids): $60
Classroom chalkboard: $125
Soccer field: $450
Classroom set of desks: $900
Library: $4500

Together, we can ensure that all children get a chance to go back-to-school!
