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!

Fall & Kids!!


I'm here in Michigan enjoying the fall colors and visiting family. All week long, I have been playing with my 2-year old niece, running around, collecting leaves, having tea parties, etc. What a joy she is!

Being with her reminds me that ALL children are precious & that we grown-ups have a responsibility--to make sure that children with NO family to care for them don't suffer.

Join me in helping provide comfort and care to little African HIV children by donating today: www.sugiforkids.blogspot.com!
