Our Solution to the Problem

Though we can't pick up and go to Africa to right all the wrongs, we chose to right some wrongs and get involved in a situation a little closer to home.

Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world, besieged by violence and extreme
poverty. It’s people are beautiful and long for a better life for themselves and for
their children.

For HIS Glory Outreach seeks to meet the needs of those in such dire conditions. The orphanage is currently home to over 150 children and provides jobs to over 200 Haitians. They provide the children with 3 meals per day, clean drinking water, an education and a chance at a better life. Sadly, there are more than 80 children turned away each month due to lack of funds. They are seeking to make 1000 friends in 100 days to make a commitment to help change the lives of these children. $1 per day - $30 per month can literally make the difference between life and death for these children.

We have chosen to partner with For HIS Glory in both support and the adoption of 2 of the children in the orphanage.

Invisible Children


Imagine a world torn and divided by war. Imagine being displaced and having to "live" in camps. Imagine your children, as young as 4 - your boys, forced to kill and be part of this war - your girls, sold, kidnapped, forced to be sex slaves. This is the atrocity that the Ugandan people must live with every day. Knowledge is POWER. Get informed. Get INVOLVED. Go to www.invisiblechildren.com to learn more about what you can do to help.
