http://forum.brillkids.com/coffee-corner-general-chat/help-orphans-at-xmas/(this man is now trying to start an EDUCATION CENTRE for the street kids of Gogoikrom in Ghana)...yet he doesnt even have a laptop so he can work from home.
you will notice that the needs are so great, and so BASIC...just getting bedding that is off the floor and paraffin to put in a lamp so they can see what they are eating is dificult...in fact the orphanage I mentioned have no money and have run out of pariffin.So in the midst of trying to help the orphanages that do have electricity, computers, tv and dvd player and such, I find these ones and want to help them MORE. Pluck them from obscurity and sit them on a hill and shower them with all sorts of gifts and mod cons.
But on the note of getting baby and toddler education to them...I hope to start my own charity and get it registered, so I can really concentrate on getting my projects running. One being starting a baby orphanage in Kisii, run by my local Kisii friends Geoffrey and Fridah. My older kids can go over and help when they finish high school, in their gap year before uni, and hopefully will return to help in kisii more.
I do know of baby orphanages that would benefit immediately as they already have some mod cons to be able to utilise the software. Mind you, as there are so many kids to each caregiver, putting the programs on dvds would help cut the workload for the carers, and benefit more babies at one time........but I would love to shower the ones who have NOTHING with these things!!
I will inbox you.
