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!

Half-way point, more than half-way there!‏

This week marks the half-way point for my year-long project for African children infected/orphaned/affected by HIV/AIDs. I am happy to report that I am more than half-way to my $20,000 goal.



With the support of friends, family, and local community, I have raised $10,015, which leaves $9,985 to go! Just last week, I held a garage sale with my neighbors' help & donations to raise $520.

Please provide your support and seize the opportunity to provide clean water, comfort, and hope to these children: http://www.sugiforkids.blogspot.com/
