		<description>Dear partners, friends and readers 


For several years we share our problems, our fears, our plans and our hopes for children. We count on you and you rely on our actions so that our relations are an engine for different policy areas in which we operate. 

Children that we have helped for a first experience since 94, some have already completed their studies and have already built their homes, others are at university, others have opened their own small businesses, but 
a dynamic collaboration ... continues over tomorrow. 

However, little angels as Altess, Willy, Rapha ... are still there, children and young adolescents are still waiting for your actions of love, then they can become women and men well balanced. 

You know that since 2005, we experienced difficulties to feed these children in transit shelters following the rupture of WFP assistance, and that were it not your hands back, we plunged into the worst. 
We take this opportunity to thank all those who contributed to help us break the stalemate, we thank also those who are continues to help us so far.

Often when we saw the vast needs and poverty means, our courage and our faith falters abandon us.
 As Andre in presence of 5 breads of loaves and two fish, we are surprised &quot;what does this mean people? 
Too often we hesitate. But Jesus command: &quot;Give them while you eat.&quot; His command is tantamount to a promise and is accompanied by the same power that has satisfied the crowd by the sea 

 
 





30 children waiting for your regular contribution, for a chance to finish his studies and have a place in society. 

Sponsor a child you have given him a name and a face 



May God bless you abundantly

		<description>Peace of God be with you!
  
We are facing a serious problem of how to get food for the 30 orphans we are taking in charge, and would like to hear if your organisation can help those street kids received in our
 orphanage.
  The main problem we face is now to find enough provision of food, cloths, medical care, school materials and fees for those who are already take in care.
Our focus is partnering with an international organisation which has the same vision mission and to find funds finance for small income generating projects. These projects would help in the diet of children. 

If necessary those projects would be a loan that will repay slowly. So we solved the problem of ration once and for all. 
We would greatly appreciate any help you can give to
present our mission.  We must have increased monthly support to enable us to invest fully in the work of the mission and make effectively maintain and grow the various programs.
Your help are deeply appreciated.
Donations go to : Children’s Future Hope,
We are on your disposal for any complementary information you need.
Many thanks and Blessings

		<description>Co-sign with Michelle!

I dont know how anyone could have looked at Marian Robinson&#039;s face and not get overwhelmed with joy and pride at watching this black woman see her two children on stage, you had to feel her sadness as she thought of her husband, a local precinct captain for the Democratic party for over 30 years......who had to be watching, just had to be. How could anyone look at that woman on Monday Night and not smile, cry, just get filled up? It was beautiful.</description>

		<description>My dad will be 85 years old on October 11 this year.  I&#039;m so overwhelmed with joy and pride with Barack Obama&#039;s nomination for President of the U.S.A.   My dad and his 11 children grew up in rural Southern Maryland.  We&#039;re all products of segregation and or jim crow. 
I am one of 8 daughters, and were taught to never use our race or gender to limit who we are, what we wanted to achieve, or go where we wanted to go in life.  He told his 8 daughters that if we did use those two reasons as an excuse, he&#039;d come after us himself and kick our black asses!  It was an every Sunday night discourse my dad provided us before we were allowed to watch Mutual of Omaha&#039;s Wild Kingdom, Walt Disney and Bonanza.  He has an eight grade education and didn&#039;t need a college degree to teach us that.  Life experiences through endless days of laborious farm work as a sharecroper of tobacco, we all knew that we had a choice of steering our own destinies.  
My dad is alive to see a man of color achieve what all americans should have the opportunity and not always a gurantee to achieve; there&#039;s a difference.  My daughters have witnessed another beautiful, smart, strong and loving black woman support her husband and care for daughters along with millions of other folks.  
Michelle had nothing to prove to anybody about who and what she&#039;s about.  She&#039;ll never be white, nor does she or Barack have to be black enough for other black folks.  Everything they are and are living for is not unatural to any of us.  Instead of fearing what is unknown or different, they have learned to embrace what connects us all....LOVE!  

May the Blessings Be!

		<description>Michelle Obama was informative and stunning, she is ready and able to lead the country as the First Lady. I was proud and moved by her speech and her daughter&#039;s reaction to Senator Obama&#039;s presence on the screen. What an amazing night. History in the making.</description>
