Thanksgiving Celebrations and October Angel's Corner Update

Hello to all and welcome back to our Angel's Corner Update

We wanted to kick off the holiday season with the Thanksgiving celebrations, here in Canada on October 13 and in the US on November 27.

What an appropriate time to give thanks: to God for giving us the opportunity to help others through The Angel's Corner, to our Customers for their continuous contributions, to Plan Canada for their great donor support, they have showed a great deal of professionalism and transparency with the Projects we have been supporting, a Big Shout Out to them! To Kiva for their amazing job, keep up the good work! And to all the agencies that are trying to make life better on these difficult times in the world.

“Since I started farming I have been growing maize and realized low yields and now I have planted groundnuts and realized a good yield. I will advise other farmers to grow this crop” said Mr. Dube from Kubatana ward.

We continue working with Plan Canada, this time we have chosen a project in the African Republic of Zimbabwe; whose people are living under extremely difficult political, economic and social conditions; poverty and unemployment is soaring and where an acute shortage of food has been well publicized. 56 percent of the population lives on less than US$ 1 per day and 1 million people depend on food aid. So, we though that a good way to invest some money will be give people the tools to help not only themselves as individuals, but their families and their community with an Agricultural Training and Seed Provision which will provide long-term solutions to these problems. The project objectives are: increase the number of food secure families, reduce the number of undernourished children, increase the number of families realizing increased disposable income and increase the number of families in Plan communities who access sustainable financial services. With your support we were able to secure farmer training for 50 people; this will equip them with the knowledge and skills in farming to improve their agricultural production. Households that follow good farming methods will achieve good yields that ensure food security for them with surplus for sale. With part of the donations we also secure additional funding for the Provision of Seed for 40 extra people and their families; this means that farmers have seed input to plant in their fields. Farmers in the rural areas are not able to access adequate agricultural inputs due to shortage on the market and when available the prices are way beyond the reach of the majority. Some of the participant families are able to produce peanut butter and oil from sunflower, which improves their nutrition status. Also this project allows them to work near their homes reducing overall cost and workloads, particularly for women and families are more able to send their children to school or pay for healthcare.

Once again we continue supporting entrepreneurs through Kiva. This time we were able to add 7 more, for a grand total of 14, in many countries and a variety of businesses - go through the link to visit our detailed portfolio with Kiva - It is amazing to know that with a little bit of help, you can change so many lives.

Lastly, The Angel's Corner had also given another donation to our Local Community Centre - York Community Services - to help with their new satellite location, to expand their services to more communities. YCS is a pioneer in their field and is an integrated and charitable multi-disciplinary agency in Toronto, where all services are provided free of charge under one roof and one administration. Their services are targeted to:

· Families at risk – primarily single mothers and their children
· Immigrants and newcomers
· Seniors and the frail elderly
· Adults with developmental disabilities
· People with serious and persistent mental illness
· Youth
· Homeless or under-housed
· And others facing barriers due to language, race, culture, or low literacy- with the overall goal of building healthy families, individuals and communities.

We feel privileged and honored that you are giving us your support and that we are able to see how far we have gone and how many lives we have been able to touch in such a short period of time.

God bless you all and your families!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Sincerely,
Maria Angel

May 2008 Angel's Corner Update

Hello everyone and Happy Mother’s Day! - Here we are with new exciting updates.

It is May, Spring has finally arrived and it is the perfect time to celebrate not only Mother’s Day, but the great support The Angel’s Corner keeps receiving.

Once again we have partnered up with Plan Canada to support a very important and timely cause. Part of your contributions has been allocated to support an HIV and AIDS campaign in the African country of Burkina Faso, a country we do not hear much about but is in great need of help. Unlike most HIV & AIDS program approaches, Plan Canada's is all child-centered.

A Mother and her Child in Burkina Faso.
With your support, now they have Hope.

This project provides enhanced access to medical and long-term psychosocial support for children and their families affected by HIV & AIDS, with a portion designated to prevent the infection of children during childbirth. It also facilitates vital legal, financial and practical support to child-led households orphaned by AIDS.

Your support to the Angel’s Corner for this project would allow the Plan to provide health care and medicine needed to prevent HIV transmission from mother to child during delivery for 14 families. This project will also provide activities closely linked to voluntary counseling and testing services targeting both parents, to overall improvement of maternal health services, to family planning counseling and provision, to health care support for parents living with AIDS, and to counseling and support to ensure safer and exclusive breast feeding.



As we had previously pledged, we continue supporting Kiva.org. We started by supporting 3 Entrepreneurs; now with your help we are able to sponsor four (4) more, for a grand total of seven (7) entrepreneurs, empowering those businesses in their effort towards economic independence. - Click on the Kiva logo to see them all in detail - This is what is called a gift that keeps on giving. Thanks for helping us make more dreams come true.



We are very proud to announce that our daughters wanted to celebrate Mother’s day in a very unique and special way. There is an amazing Hospital in town call "Sick Kids." They have a fundraising walk in support of Pediatric Brain Tumor Research called Meagan’s Walk (read her story), and it will also provide pediatric health care at Sick Kids, the only hospital in Canada with a program dedicated to this specialized area of research. People from all over the world come here. We decided that not only would the Angel’s Corner give a donation, but the whole family will participate by walking together with all their supporters, including Meagan’s mother this May 11th.

  
Update: Photos from Meagan's Walk (Click photo's to enlarge)

We do our best to practice the popular saying: "Talk the talk and walk the walk." But that is not the only walk we will be doing this season. On June 1st we will also be participating in another Walkathon, this time to support our Local Community Centre – York Community Services – to raise funds for their new satellite community health center which will provide health, legal, counseling, housing and support services for low income families.

Lastly, we would like to thank you all for your continuous support and for helping to make life better for so many.

Learn more about and support The Angel's Corner.

With much appreciation, deep gratitude and immense hope.

Truly yours,

Maria Angel

Cats Just Love Sleeping Near Salt Lamps

One of our customers recently sent in this testimonial and photo that we wanted to share with you. It's a great follow up to
Salt Lamps - A Salt Lick For Cats?, from Tigger, our webmasters cat, who also enjoys sleeping near salt lamps. One things for sure, cats enjoy the negative ions that these beautiful, warm salt lamps generate.



"I ordered 4 salt lamps from you guys a few months ago, and they are awesome. They give a lovely warm feeling to my room. My cats seem to really enjoy them also! I always leave at least one switched on at floor level because my cats seem to like to sleep near them! Here's a picture I took 5 minutes ago!"

Enjoy,

Angel's Corner Supports Plan Canada and Kiva

Happy New Year to All!

Let me start by thanking our customers for the overwhelming support we have received for the Angel's Corner initiative.



We are very excited because we were able to make our first contributions to two great organizations:

• Plan Canada


• Kiva.org

In the process of choosing a specific cause and with suggestions from Plan Canada, we decided to support a cause in Pakistan first, for a few reasons. First, as mentioned, our factory is located in Pakistan and we thought it would be great to honor our colleagues by being the first recipients of this initiative, being an essential element in making the Angel's Corner possible. Second, this project will directly benefit children. Third, there is an immense need in that country.

The program is called Birth Registration Program. The goal of this project is to assist children without documentation in obtaining a Birth Certificate. Most significantly these documents provide a child with easier access to essential Social Services such as Education and Healthcare. It provides Proof of Age, helping protect against child labour and child marriage, as well as proof of National Identity, making it easier to defend against abuse and child trafficking.

In addition, a person can be denied their right to: Vote or stand for elected office - Obtain a passport - Prove their nationality - Get Married - Obtain a Drivers License - Inherit money or property, just to name a few. Pakistan's Population is about 160 million; unfortunately nearly 64 million children remain unregistered.

The Angel's Corner's first contribution will be able to provide Birth Registration for about 233 children.

"Join Plan in its goal to achieve universal birth registration - a universal responsibility"
Archbishop Desmond Tutu. (Nobel Peace Price-1984)

With Kiva.org we started by supporting 3 entrepreneurs in the developing world in their efforts to achieve economic independence, empowering them to lift themselves out of poverty, through micro credit.

With your support, we look forward to being able to help more entrepreneurs in making their dreams come true.

On behalf of the recipients of your good will, I would like to thank you, as well as assure you that we will continue to investigate other worthy projects around the world. This is only the beginning!

Sincerely,
Maria Angel
