“Slingerlands Elementary School students have the opportunity to submit a proposal for a community outreach project. This year, the Build a Water Well project proposal, written by 2nd- and 4th-grade siblings, was chosen. Their proposal detailed the importance of ensuring kids just like them (and adults!) have access to clean water– something many of us take for granted each day. As a school, we have talked about the importance of clean water access, and students are eager to play a part in this mission. Thank you for your support! “”Our prime purpose in this life is to help others…”

We are an FLL team(Syntax Error #7300) at Fulton Science Academy Private School. We want to sponsor a water well to help people receive water easier. To make this more memorable, we named the water well after our coach’s brother who recently died. Our coach is always there when we need him, so we wanted to do something for him in return.

Fashioning Her Future

This is Beatrice Joseph. She comes from Musoma, Tanzania, where she’s the third of six children. After  finishing primary school in 2014, she traveled to Dar es Salaam, the country’s largest city, where her father passed away two years later, making her an orphan. Beatrice isn’t the only orphan in Tanzania. In fact, the country’s home to 1.3 million orphans, primarily due to the AIDS crisis. Suddenly forced to grow up and assume adult responsibilities, many of these children don’t have time or money to further their education, limiting their potential. In July of 2016, Beatrice enrolled at the Dogodogo Training Centre, where she learned the elements of tailoring: Sewing trousers, skirts, shorts and gowns. In its 27 years of operation, the Centre has facilitated the empowerment of thousands of young women, providing quality educations and vocational training, as well as advocating on behalf of girls whose voices are too often stifled, in Dar es Salaam and in the country. Through education and legal representation, rural women have broader horizons and more options than being a traditional housewife. Now, Beatrice’s dream is to become a renowned designer, drawing clients from miles around. More than anything, she dreams of being self-sufficient.  You can commemorate International Women’s Day 2019, by donating to our Women’s Empowerment Campaign and making Beatrice’s dream a reality. Your contribution will empower her – and young women like her – to design their own destinies. To learn more about our Women’s Empowerment Campaign, click here.

The Embrace of Hurricane Sandy Relief

Established as a relief organization to provide timely aid to victims of natural disasters in the United States and abroad, Embrace Relief goes a step beyond traditional aid organizations. Our recovery efforts feature dynamic, multi-pronged strategies, involving the cooperation of other organizations. Acting in concert, we combat poverty, hunger, homelessness, unemployment, preventable diseases, poor sanitation and inadequate healthcare. Also encompassing financial and emotional support, our efforts strive to restore the whole person, preserving both their lives and their dignity. In 2012, following Hurricane Sandy, Embrace Relief joined forces with a number of organizations to provide much needed relief in the form of food, water and other resources, such as hygienic supplies. Over the course of four days, they served meals to roughly 2,740 people at three locations: Levittown Memorial High School, Nassau Community College and Lindenhurst. On Nov. 11, 2012, members of the organization joined New York City Assembly Member Eric Stevenson’s recovery efforts at the Salvation Army Franklyn Women’s Shelter in the Bronx. Overseen by Congressman Jose E. Serrano and Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, they fed 500 people. For the Broadway Presbyterian Church’s annual Thanksgiving dinner, held in the Lower East Side’s NY City Rescue Mission, Embrace Relief donated 15 turkeys, 240 cans of tuna, 108 cans of corned beef, 80 pounds of apples and three cases of pudding. Along with the Turkish Cultural Center, they gave 200 blankets and 4,000 bars of soap to residents of Brooklyn. In Rockaway, Queens, they delivered food and cleaning supplies to 500 people, and the Connecticut Food Bank received 13 boxes, containing 200 pounds of ground beef. Lastly, the organization gifted $40,000 for general storm recovery, as well as $50,000 specifically allocated to the Far Rockaway branch of the Queens library. Because of its demand for up-to-date intelligence, constant communication and thoughtful governance, Embrace Relief was able to not only stave off hunger, thirst and cold, but restore a measure of dignity to victims of Hurricane Sandy. Its response here is emblematic of its recovery efforts since the disaster, as well as the those it will conduct in the future. Due to its adaptability, Embrace Relief can be relied upon to see you through the storm. To learn more about Embrace Relief’s disaster relief efforts, click here.
