Sat, 17 May 2008 12:02:58 +0200

Our Family Orphan Communities, Inc, (OFOC) is a nonprofit charity that is designing and developing a self-sustaining, environmentally green, high-tech Community in which street orphans will be raised in families with surrogate parents and grandparents. The children will receive healthcare, family values, education, and job and computer skills to prepare them for their future and the future of their country. These communities are destined for third-world and developing countries. Currently OFOC is working with the Vietnam Aid Society for Disabled Children to develop this Community in Ninh Binh Province where the land has been donated for the project. You can see our progress at www.orphancommunities.org. To assist this cause, Xippee, Incorporated has donated 300 shares of its corporate stock to OFOC.

Wanted - Celebrities who care about Orphans and the Environment

Fri, 28 Dec 2007 13:48:25 +0100

The project, Ethanol & Orphans, is looking for celebrities who think it is a good idea and who will endorse the project. The project sponsor is the not-for-profit charity, Our Family Orphan Communities, Inc. The Ethanol & Orphans project is currently underway in Vietnam where we will be building a cellulose ethanol refinery and using the profits to build: - a Self-sustaining, high-tech, green Community for street orphans where they will be raised in families with surrogate parents and grandparents, given care, skills (job, computer, familiy/life) and supplemental education. - a Medical clinic supported by the profits from the refinery so those who cannot afford it can still receive treatment. - more care for disabled children (who are still today being born with birth defects from Agent Orange which was used in the war in the 60's and 70's) so they can learn to be self-sufficient even with disabilities. We are looking for people who care about: - improving the environment - using less petrochemical fuels - helping developing / third world countries to improve - street children living barely surviving - disabled children who need assistance - providing medical/dental care for those who cannot afford it - protecting food sources (we will use sugarcane for the refiery, NOT grains) - providing education for children, the future leaders of their country - and more humanitarian projects The celebrities will be asked to speak about our project when they can, and to allow us to use thier comments/picture/name in our website and promotion materials. For complete details about the project, see: http://www.orphancommunities.orgFor questions, write to us at: info@orphancommunities.org Please forward this to others who you know will be interested in supporting this project.
