Making a difference in Africa

 

Change Agents:

Here and there I have come across people and organizations who are making a real difference in Africa.  Their contributions are changing lives for the better.  They are Africans who want to change their society and country for the better or they are Westerners who are given years of their time and energy to contribute to the wellbeing of Africa...jon

Fields of Life:  An organization that for over 10 years has impacted Uganda by building many schools, farms and health clinics.  Now building a clinic in the besieged town of Lira that has felt the onslaught of Kony's Lord Resistance Army made up of abducted children.

Joetta Smith:  A story of faith and hope of a retired woman on social security, a cancer survivor who today lives and works in the town of Nakuru, Kenya.  There she gives herself helping women through empowerment and orphans by giving them hope for a brighter tomorrow that is more than a  slogan.  Read her heartwarming story.

Robinah Lubwama:  The closest person to sainthood I have met on this place called earth, she has given her all to the children of Uganda under her care, a story of inner determination to give the children of Uganda a future and a hope.

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.
