JAMBO contributed 10,000 yen to KIDS NPO. KIDS (Knowing Is Doing Something) NPO was established in 1992 when it became apparent to volunteer workers that orphans in Japan are secluded from society. KIDS concentrates on connecting children isolated from society with various people interested in volunteering. Students from orphanages around the Kanto Plain learn English for three months including two field trips where they have direct interaction with foreigners. The students are able to build their confidence, gain new perspectives on life, illustrate future goal, and have fun doing it.
These funds come from you, the participants of JAMBO, Thank you very much.
JAMBO contributed $315 to Abalimi Bezekhaya. This is an organization working with development and environmental restoration in Cape Flats. Cape Flats is an impoverished area outside Cape Town which was partitioned as a “Black” residential area under the apartheid regime. Due to poor management, overcrowding, and the unjust policies of the apartheid era, Cape Flats became environmentally devastated. Abalimi Bezekhaya is working to “re-green” the area by promoting gardening and tree planting efforts.
