Katie McCullough has funded Project #13.1 – a Bag of Rice. For only $26 we can supply a basic food staple to 45 orphans for 3 days. This is the foundation of most orphans’ diets and a constant need in the fight against hunger. This is Katie’s second donation this year in support of this project. Her ongoing support and those of past donors means a great deal to us and we don’t take their trust for granted.
I support foundations that specifically target children– I want to help the little kids out; to make them safeKatie McCullough
For only $26 we can supply a basic food staple to 45 orphans for 3 days. This is the foundation of most 
orphans’ diets and a constant need in the fight against hunger.
Background:
Over 200,000 refugees line the borders of Thailand and Burma, held in refugee camps that can barely manage to provide for basic necessities. Tens of thousands of these refugees are children – children who have been traumatized by the ongoing war waged by the Burmese military dictatorship against the regions hill-tribes. Here they end up in the camps or living illegally along the border regions, at huge risk of being taken into the sex trade, suffering malnourishment and other ongoing threats to their well being and lives. In addition to basic necessities like shelter, clothes, food and education, children also need hope, joy and play.
The orphans survive by wading through the mounds of garbage for recyclable plastic or selling illegal goods which unfortunately doesn’t get them enough to even get enough food or water let alone shelter etc so we want to call on donors to help us make a big difference in these children’s lives!
Our goal is to help by teaming with local volunteers to begin making a real difference using a focused approach e.g. one or two Orphanages.
