Overview
Mission
This year is the continuation of our fund-raising efforts to secure a facility to open a therapeutic foster care for neglected and homeless children. We still have our free food distribution from the urban garden in Atlanta, but still focused on securing and developing the foster care. This will include training classes for dealing with neglected children, purchasing a building to house the children and staff, and acquiring the permits and legal licenses to conduct a program like this out of our facility. Ms. Charan-De is presently in a vocational training program with AARP. They have her working at the 300 person homeless shelter runned by Salvation Army Red Shield organization. MS. Charan-De is learning how to manage, cultivate and organize a large group of homeless and distressed single men, women and families. Ms. Charan-De is having a brilliant experience at Salvation Army homeless rescue center. She is learning vital character-building skills to help people
