Our Focus
Children
Children are hope for the future. But the future should include ALL children. None should be relegated to the sidelines.
Women
There are women around the world for whom feeding and educating their children, as well as themselves, is an ongoing struggle.
Arts
Through their creativity, artists hold both a magnifying glass and a mirror to society. They deserve our support.
Immigrants
There are many influences that might drive one to leave his or her homeland. Some leave with high hopes and big dreams.
