SHALOM ORPHANAGE CENTRE – THEY NEED YOUR HELP

Help me to help them

I have been in Arusha and Manyara regions visiting disadvantages people and orphanage center . I am now settled in and started volunteering at the orphanage in full force. The children are wonderful, full of love and laughter. I help the youngest kids in a way I can include raising their talents, I teach the older kids some English and then they have taken me on a few walks around the area. I had a chance to sit down and talk with the founder and local volunteer to learn more about the organization. Here is the inspirational yet heart wrenching story.
One of the interest center is shalom orphanage center:
Mama Warra is an amazing lady and the children and staff at Shalom are full of love.
Mama Warra wants to empower these children to know how important it is to continue to help and sharing to others what they have. These children have no iPods, no cell phones, no video games new clothes and on Christmas Day they go into town to meet the street children and bring them food, pencils, clothes, and toys – all items that were donated to them and they then share these gifts and give them to other children who do not have a place like Shalom, they call it “Celebrate Christmas Donated By Shalom.”

Shalom believes that every child has a dream and it is their hope to give these children an opportunity to use their skills and gifts to reach their full potential and see their dreams become reality. They can’t do this on their own there is a high demand for support. Below is more information or you can email me directly at touchingvoice@yahoo.com  if you would like to help this great NGO, it is something I have now become very passionate about and would like to do all I can to help.
