E-book Title: Make a difference in an Aids orphans life
Author: Sandy McDonald
Book Description: A teacher resource to make a difference, that you can use again and again
Yes YOU can make a difference!
In your child's life! In an AIDS orphan's life! In your own life!
Your donation, by purchasing this teacher resource, is how it all starts.
The great Nelson Mandela
On his 91st birthday marked the inaugural 'Madiba' day as:
"an occasion when each of us takes a step, through some act of community service, to realize the power in us to change the world."
Help your children realise Madiba's plea
You too can become part of a global gifting phenomenon. Every week thousands of knitted squares are arriving in South Africa from willing volunteers eager to make a difference in AIDS orphans' lives.
They are taking that step and realising the power in each one of us to change the world. Your children can easily become a member of this wonderful community.
Remember too what Barak Obama said . . .
"Yes we can..."
He was talking to all of us, throughout the world. He too was compelling and empowering each of us to take that step.
Harness your children's natural 'yes we can' attitude to reach out to the abandoned children and AIDS orphans of southern Africa.
This teacher resource will show you how to do just that. And all for a small donation of US$9.95, very little for making such a powerful difference in a child's life.
Why Aids Orphans?
Because as World Vision president Richard Stearns said...
"I believe that this could very well be looked back upon as the sin of our generation . . .and our children 40 or 50 years from now are going to ask 'what did you do while 40 million children became orphans in Africa?"
Your donation sets an example for your children. And by using this teacher resource to realise Nelson Mandela's entreaty, you will deliver them an inspiring lesson that they'll use for the rest of their lives.
It's your chance to make an impact that could be felt across the globe ... and in your school and your own home.
