Small Donation to Pearl Children Care Centre Jinja, Uganda

18th May 2012
In hindsight, I should have kept track of my fund raising efforts over the past years. Well, it's never too late to start. From now on, I hope to post when a donation is made to one of my friends' humanitarian efforts, or when a service/resource is secured, exchanged, or donated. If not only to be reminded of the great things happening out there, thanks to generous folks like you!

So thanks to Treatment Action Campaign for their inclusion of a photograph in their magazine Equal Treatment, in exchange for a donation to Pearl Children Care Centre.

My friends Hussey and Bossa are helping some of the children pictured throughout my photo gallery in important, tangible ways. Their Pearl Children Care Center, a community based organization, covers school tuition and medical costs for dozens of children in the greater Jinja area.

Their work is so important it bears repeating twice on my website:
Pearl Children Care Centre strives to improve the spiritual and material quality of life of orphans and disadvantaged children by providing them with the tools and skills to become confident and productive members of society. Our goal is to give them a safe and healthy living environment, proper nutrition and health care and quality education so they can reach their potential and have a chance at a better future.

From their website:
...Our office is located in Jinja, Uganda and we welcome you to visit us in person to see what you donations are doing for the children.Your contributions make a big difference and give hope and encouragement to those in desperate need.
