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!

Let's Have a Tea Party!


My next fundraising activity is fast approaching--a Sunday afternoon Ladies Tea Party, co-hosted with my mama at my little house!

We will be enjoying teas from around the world, coupled with yummy food to complement each tea. There will be green tea from Shizuoka, Japan (where the Sugiyamas live), African red rooibos tea (courtesy of my co-worker from South Africa), & plenty of English tea with scones & cream, too!!

The party is "B.Y.O.T.C." (Bring Your Own Tea Cup) -- guests are bringing their favorite cup to sip from!

This tea will benefit Ugandan children orphaned/infected/or otherwise affected by HIV/AIDs.

Even if you are not able to join us for tea, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to this worthy cause via my project website: www.sugiforkids.blogspot.com
