Children born into Slums:  It becomes generational unless there is an intervention and these children are plucked out and educated, not only in the things any grammar student needs to learn, but educated in life skills so as to survive.  From soap and water to the ability to say no to someone, simple things such as that may mean a big difference in the life of a child.

We love for you to come and join us for a week or two working with some of the most grateful children you will ever meet and not only will they be touched, you will never be the same...jon

 

Laundry Day - You are never too young to work

Children taking care of children, while the parents work.

He is a determined young man with a sad story.

The smile is there...Hope is still within

Humor is always a balm

There is a sadness and yet something else in her eyes.

I see you....

He's not heavy...he is my brother.

What did you bring me?

Do you have any food?

It is early in the morning and he is clapping in a makeshift church

I wonder, if he is up to no good? That face.

Hope never gives up

You caught me...

The dream....fades

Welcome to our place....

Life is tough....here in the slum

He was enrolled in a school with Ambassadors of Hope...Uganda

Two more students...

Praying for this day...

A church meeting that I came across early in the morning.

 

How Can I Help? 

What Can I do to help a Child in Africa?

Since the early nineties I  have been involved with caring for children.  Last year we formed Ambassadors of Hope International, a registered non-profit organization in the USA .dedicated to working with the children of Uganda and East Africa, children who are born into slums and have little to hope for unless  someone cares and makes a difference in their lives by coming and giving their time, by someone sponsoring a child so that they can get an ongoing education. Many people give a donation that pooled with others translates into help for a child, a hope filled  future.

If you are interested in helping in any way, please contact me by email at jonblanc@kabiza.com  or you can send a donation by check to:

Ambassadors of Hope International, PO Box 2974, Blaine Wa 98231Ambassadors of Hope International - PO Box 2974, Blaine WA 98231

You will receive a tax receipt if you are in the USA and a detailed account of what will happen with your donation.  Less than 10% if any, will be used to handle your gift. In the USA everyone is a volunteer and there are no employees.  The money is sent to Alpha and Omega Ministries where it is administered by qualified staff-members, some of whom have worked with Ugandan children for over 20 years.

If you desire toPick the Batik of your choice... sponsor a child with a monthly donation, it is $25 per month or $300 per year in one donation.  You will receive a picture and background of a child, 4 letters a year and reports from the teachers on the progress of the child. You can also visit your sponsored child in Uganda and actually work at the school where your child attends. We will send you photographs of your child in class, eating lunch, playing.   Thank you for caring...jon

We do have a special gift for you for any donation over 25 dollars, or the sponsorship of a child.  We have various beautiful 20" by 30" hand made in Uganda Batiks that we will send to you with the receipt for your donation.  You can pick out your batik today and email me your choice along with your planned donation, name and address.

  Take a look at the Batiks.
