Caretakers in Congo

All of the work that we are doing here to help the children in Africa would not be possible without the people that are working over there, making sure that the money we send is used for the right purposes and that the children are being well-cared for. The corruption in some of these areas can sometimes threaten the charitable gifts getting to the rightful place and being used as intended. We are fortunate to have people who we know and trust to watch things for us.

We just received the above photo of four of the folks on our trusted team in Congo. On the left is Brice. He works full-time, for a very small monthly salary, and is extremely dedicated to overseeing the daily goings-on at the orphanages. He is exceptionally honest and conscientious. Having grown up in orphanages, he really cares a lot about the kids. He has been working with our American contact there for several years and is really invaluable to us. He is the true “auditor” of the group. He also often spends time with the kids, teaching and telling them stories. Next to him, from left to right, are Gloria, Ida, and Deogracias. These girls work on more of a part-time, volunteer basis and get only a small stipend enough to cover expenses.

With what we do here, and what these people do there, there are now seven orphanages and about 20 home orphanages (with just one or two kids each); children who are cared for with food, shoes, and some really nice people who genuinely care about them.

African Mango has been widely recognized for weight loss the last several years and its popularity continues to be very strong. Why? Because according to many health experts, including Dr. Mehmet Oz, it really works!

For centuries, African Mango has been used by the natives to Cameroon as a diet aid and energy producing fruit. African Mango works by increasing the amount of leptin present in the bloodstream, which is a hormone naturally produced by the body to control hunger. Taking the supplement before you eat a meal is beneficial because it acts as a natural appetite suppressant. By taking African Mango, it tells the brain that the body has had enough food. This all-natural formula also increases metabolism, fights fatigue, and increases energy.

The African Mango Fusion dietary supplement is superior to other mango dietary aids on the market because it also combines the ancient effectiveness of African Mango with additional ingredients such as Green Tea and Resveratrol which have both been clinically proven to aid with metabolism and help prevent future weight gain while also burning fat.

You can find our available stock of African Mango Fusion here.

Lela with the Beautiful Smile

Our representative at Bethanie Orphanage just sent us an update on two of the many children we support in Congo with your help.

Here’s her note:

Wayne, this is Lela (above). She has been at Bethanie Orphanage since newborn. They don’t know what happened to parents – Social Services brought her to our orphanage.

Thanks for giving her this smile!!

And here is Brice (below) sitting and visiting with his namesake, Brice.

Handsome little Brice

Brice was older when he was found left in a market and the police showed a picture on TV but no family claimed him, so he was brought to Bethanie. He has been sick lately – you can see how slender he has gotten. We couldn’t get a smile out of him at all.

With much HOPE and Praise God!

Everyday, children are getting the meals and care they need as a direct result of the work we are all doing here.

“The glory of sport comes from dedication, determination and desire. Achieving success and personal glory in athletics has less to do with wins and losses than it does with learning how to prepare yourself so that at the end of the day, whether on the track or in the office, you know that there was nothing more that you could have done to reach your ultimate goal.” – Jackie Joyner-Kersee (b. March 3, 1962)

Jacqueline “Jackie” Joyner-Kersee was born in East St. Louis, Illinois on March 3, 1962. She is a retired American athlete, ranked among the greatest athletes in women’s track and field combined events. She won three gold, one silver, and two bronze Olympic medals. Sports Illustrated for Women has voted Joyner-Kersee the Greatest Female Athlete of the 20th Century. After retiring from competitive sports, she has been involved with many philanthropic initiatives and sits on the Board of Directors of the USA Track & Field.
