We live a blessed life so in gratitude for that each year we donate to some amazing organizations. The first is one we have been associated with for over 16 years www.onehundredfriends.com. I met Marc Gold many years ago at a fundraiser at my shared office space, he explained the mission that he had single handedly decided to do and won my heart. He introduced me to a sweet little girl who needed heart surgery in Kabul and thats where it all started.
Over many years we have worked on numerous projects together where every dollar counts.
We have helped to build a school in Ethiopia, furnished several libraries in Tibet and covered heart surgeries in Kabul and Vietnam for children in need. We were also involved in building a community center for a village ravaged by a flood that swept the old center away as well as numerous other smaller projects.
We have also been blessed with clients who instead of receiving gifts have donated to this cause on our behalf thank you to those couples we are forever indebted to you for your kindness that goes a long way to help so many people.
Community Center in Myanmar
This may not seem much but bare in mind families live here in homes like the photo on the left, so this small community center is a life saver for many children who are able to get a basic eduction and one meal a day. We are proud to have been able to donate to build this center along with 100 friends.
