Want to help?

If you'd like to help support either the OCA Computer Centre or the African Child in Need Street Kids Centre, you can do so by donating to an organization called Chi-ki Children's Charity.

Click here to see the three payment options available (sending a cheque, depositing directly into the Chi-ki bank account, or online via Paypal). Simply note where you would like your money to go: the options are African Child in Need or Orphans for Christ Computer Centre. (If you're submitting a donation via Paypal - please make sure you e-mail Sylvia the name of the project you'd like your funds earmarked to, so that they're applied accordingly!)

Donations to the computer lab help pay for teachers salaries, rent, educational supplies, and electricity. Donations to the street kids centre go directly towards school fees for the boys (approximately $600 per boy per year), food and hygiene supplies, and the centre's rent.

Chi-ki is a registered charity and tax receipts will be issued for contributions in Canada and/or the United States.

Additionally, GuluWalk has a walk every year in 17 cities in Canada, 28 cities in the USA and 14 cities globally - this is an 11 km walk to raise funds for abandoned children of Northern Uganda. This year's walk is on October 25th, 2008. In support of the victims of the LRA conflict, of those who commuted every night to escape abduction, of the 1.5 million who are still displaced today, collect your pledges and get walking - you can walk solo, join an existing team, or create your own team.

I'll be at the Toronto Walk - email me if you'd like to join my team. GuluWalk is an endeavour of a charity called Athletes For Africa, and has already raised $1M in support for the children of Northern Uganda in previous years.
