helped to support TACODA, a Children's Home, in Arusha, Tanzania.
TACODA was established in 2005 to
rescue orphaned and abandoned boys from the streets. (There are
currently almost 2.5 million homeless children in the country.) The
orphanage provides abandoned boys with a home, access to schooling,
health and
medical care, and personal guidance. It is sponsored by the Jim Arden
Foundation, a small 501(c)(3) charity. The Foundation is committed to
sending TACODA boys to a private
English-language school in Arusha so that they can obtain the kind of
education necessary for them to qualify for secondary school. Without
this education, they are destined for a life of
poverty.<br>

I am asking for more help in the form of children's DVDs. They will be
used by both the TACODA Children's Center and the local primary schools
in Arusha. DVDs go a long way in helping the children improve their
English more quickly (a critical stepping stone to higher education in
Tanzania).<br><br>If you have any "G" rated DVDs that your children have outgrown, please consider donating them to this worthy cause. <br><br>Thank you,<br><br>Jane MacNeil - x7378 - <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT643"><span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT1048">jmacneil@mbl.edu</span></span><br><br>P.S. If you're interested in doing more for TACODA, you might considering sponsoring a child. The annual cost is approximately <span class="" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT131"><a class="Object">$2,400</a></span> a year, or you can become a "partial sponsor" for only <span class="" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT133"><a class="Object">$100</a></span> a year. Anything you can give will help!<br></div></body></html>
