Children and the pandemic

 Covid-19 has affected the whole world at large. Some hit harder than others but dealing with the fallback all the same. FOADAC pays particular attention to children in need of shelter, clothing , food, healthcare and school supplies. 

During the past year up until now things have been exceptionally difficult. Attending to their regular needs in addition to covid has been a daunting task. The kids we look after have been fortunate and not many have been sick with covid, though their resources have dwindled due to the pandemic. 

As we continue to fight this virus, let us not forget the children especially those with special needs.

If you or someone you know will like to lend a helping hand , you can visit us at www.foadac.org , pick any one of our projects and support using our paypal system. 

Many thanks .

Stay safe, stay well

Moving on to 2021, The pandemic saga continues

 If you are reading this, that means you made it through 2020. Yes its two months into the new year and we are still in the thick and thin of the pandemic, at least in the USA. Other nations have done quite well and their numbers are down, as well as increase vaccine rates. 

All we can do is try our best to comprehend and practice all the safe methods available to us.

If you suffered a loss in the last year or recently due to this pandemic , we send out our condolences and our prayers to you and families.

We continue to do the best we can here at FOADAC. Our focus is children and their needs , but we have concern for all. Last month we were able to do some outreach work and also make a small donation of mosquito nets, gloves , masks , bed sheets and sanitizers to a small maternity unit in one of the small towns we work in. 

Every child deserves a good start upon entry into this world irrespective of weather they are wanted or not. So our support to this location gives them a head start.

Please visit our website for more information on how you can support the process. We thank you in advance.  www.foadac.com

Stay well , Stay safe.

Ethel.

Happy Holidays 2020

 The year 2020 has been a daunting one to put it mildly. This holiday season will be different. Families have been separated by distance , by death and even lack of resources to make holiday gatherings possible. Others have lost their jobs due to the pandemic and registered many other losses.

We can all just take a deep breathe and be thankful for whatever little we have . Knowing someone somewhere might be having it worst. As for me and my family, I am grateful for being alive and healthy.

Hope you all will make the best of all that you have.

We at foadac are wishing you a happy holiday season and a better , safer and health year ahead.

Many blessings to you and yours.

Take care 

WORLD KINDNESS DAY 2020

 Today is world kindness day!! There seems to be a day for every action in our daily life. Kindness is an everyday occurrence or at least it should be. Highlighting the day simply reminds us of what we should be doing. Did you know you actually feel better when you are kind to someone? Try it.

A simple act of kindness however big or small might be what somebody just needed that day , and it makes a gig difference for another even when you don't realize it. With just a little kindness from mankind , the world would be a better place

Today is a global day that promotes the importance of being kind to each other and even to yourself.

Kindness means:

FRIENDSHIP

LOVE

RESPECTING each other and their differences

A UNIFYING Human principle

CARING

SHARING and much more.

Let us all do our best to partake in an act of kindness as a way of life.

Much love from me to you and yours:

While we are in a Pandemic !!

 "On International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, we must remind ourselves that #malaria thrives within impoverished communities, hindering growth and limiting the prospects of those infected. In fact, malaria costs Africa around US$12 billion every year!" UNICEF.

While we are in a pandemic , it is hard to think of other sicknesses. Nonetheless, there is still there is still a big problem of poverty world wide in many third world countries, as well as other illnesses.

Malaria for example is prevalent in Sub-Saharan Africa , killing many people daily. can you imagine having to deal with malaria and Covid?

Let us continue to support those who are out in the fiels doing their best to curtail these ailments.

Your support to any of these organizations is great appreciated.

Thanks and be safe.

As the Pandemic continues !!

 The Global Fund reported that , the number of people dying from AIDS has dropped by more than half in the past two decades. But then COVID 19 came and all that progress is being affected. It is reversing the progress. Thus AIDs related deaths could double next year thereby eliminating more than ten years gains and efforts made towards eradicating this disease.

 Yep people with low immunity and other ailments are more at risk. Let us continue to do our part in taking preventive measures and hope this virus goes away. Support your local HIV/AIDS action programs and help support individuals as they battle their disease in the midst of a pandemic

World Humanitarian Day !!

 If only this could be everyday for us humans!!

Today is world humanitarian day.Thanks to all those who make it their business to help others.

 To them I say thanks, to the rest of us I say let us do our best to show a little kindness everyday. being kind and helpful to another human being should be second nature to all, but unfortunately our world today is filled with hate , crimes , wars and plagued with disease.

Today reminded me to continue to express love and show kindness to one another. I pray for peace and health in the world. Smile at some one , nod, say hello for its the smallest and simplest things that really matter.

BE HUMAN !!
