"Helping children in need around the world"
Projects
that Plumtree Child International Supports
~ "You Must Be The Change You Wish
To See In The World" ~
-Mahatma Gandhi-
Hi! thanks for coming to check out the
projects that we are working on! It is our hope to be catalysts for
at least some of the good changes that can be brought about in this world, we
want to be able to help people, especially children, know who they are and how
much they are worth. We want you to be able to see how and where the
proceeds from your purchases are being used. We are looking for great causes
and organizations that are truly helping children and where the money donated
will actually be used to directly help children in need and affect their lives
for good. As our funding ability increases we will continue to add more
projects in various areas of the world and eventually hope to start some of
our very own as well.
There is so much human tragedy in the world but
there are also many wonderful people trying to meet at least the basic
needs of those who suffer. Mother Theresa said "All my years of
service to the poor have helped me to understand that they are precisely the
ones who better understand human dignity. If they have a problem, it is not
lack of money, but the fact that their right to be treated humanly and
with tenderness is not recognized....I will never tire of repeating this: what
the poor need the most is not pity but love. They need to feel respect for
their human dignity, which is neither less nor different from the dignity of
any other human being" Mother Theresa also related an experience
about having picked up a small girl who was wandering lost in the streets.
Hunger was written all over her face and there was no way of knowing how
long it had been since the child had eaten anything. Mother Theresa offered
the little girl a piece of bread, the child started to eat it crumb by crumb.
Mother Theresa urged the girl to eat adding "Aren't you
hungry?" This little child looked at her and said, "I am just
afraid that when I run out of bread, I'll still be hungry."
We believe that poverty and hunger
exist all over the world and not just for the physical necessities of life but
also for the need to feel acknowledged, recognized and loved. The children of
the world belong to all of us. Let's be the change we wish to see, let's give
hope and love to those who need it most, let's fill their lives and hearts as
well as their need for food and clothes! Thanks for coming to see some of
the great projects that we are involved with! We hope you will feel happy
about the purchases you have made and the ways that we are using the
proceeds to help others. Thank you so much for your generosity
and support!
