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!

Birthdays & Wishes

Today, I celebrate my 35th b-day. It's a Big one, but a good one. I have a solid footing in adulthood and in my self. With that comes insight coupled with a compassion and desire to help others.

As you know, this year my focus is on children and what I perceive as one of the most vulnerable populations on this earth--orphaned African children with HIV. I have seen HIV children suffering without medication & die as none of us should. So what can I/we do? We can provide medicines to ease suffering, comfort, and most of all efforts to prevent other children from meeting the same fate. This is my project goal.

As my project nears year end, my birthday wish is that others will continue to join me in helping these children. www.sugiforkids.blogspot.com
