See and hear our children and their caretakers talk about their safari in the new video, "Sponsor a Dream." Listen to Special Envoy Nashon Kikalao speak from Tanzania about the urgency of this safari. Learn how you can help one of the many orphans make their safari successful.

Indiegogo Crowdfunding Campaign Challenge: Raise $25,000 by July 2 so 65 orphans we care for in very poor Mshangano Village will all continue to receive food, daily needs, and an education. Otherwise children without individual sponsors and children only partially sponsored are at great risk again. WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER if we all invite our friends to give what they are able. Read our story and EVERYONE please log on to donate. After 4 years of support, these children have gone from wondering if they will eat each day to healthy, happy students studying hard for a self-supporting future. The orphans you see here can become teachers, nurses, business women and men, mechanics, scientists-- because YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS gave to the LIFE FUND and EDUCATION/SCHOLARSHIP FUND. Your special perks? RT ticket Seattle to Songea and 5 one-year memberships to Costco. Thank you!

Chicken-Raising Project: Work is underway in Mshangano Village on the chicken-raising project to improve nutrition for the children and provide income to sustain the project. Local laborers using local materials are building the chicken coop now under the direction of a village planning committee and supervision by Jirani Mwema. Thanks to Sowing Seeds of Hope for funding this entrepreneurial project.
