Message from Our Founder

Welcome to the world of Cherish Our Children International, where children are loved, honored and nurtured, and people like you and me have the opportunity to give and make a difference in ways that are exciting, creative and in some instances - beyond what we think we are capable of.

I know you are aware of the recent violent events in Kenya that happened very close to where our Program - Children First is. We have been in touch with our partners Joyce and Victor and although it has been a very difficult situation, they have made sure that the children are safe and that the funds that we are providing are reaching their hands. They have been very heroic during this very tough time and it appears as if peace is finally once again on the horizon.

I have never been as proud as I am right now of our organization and what we are accomplishing. I am also very moved by your generosity and your trust in us. Whether it be participating in a Sprint Triathlon (or supporting someone who is), singing your heart out, having your Company match funds, or being one of our monthly donors, we are honored that you chose to contribute to the vulnerable kids we serve in now 8 countries!

We are focused this year on our current and new Programs as well as providing leadership for the youth we are serving so that they have the opportunity to contribute to their communities and other youth in different countries, in a very large way.

Lastly, we feel that every child deserves to experience the joys of childhood, and to live a life where they get to express themselves and be given a chance to contribute globally. That is who each of 'our kids' are for us. We invite you to join us in having that happen.

Thank you for your generosity, for being in action, and for caring the way you do!

With love,

Juli Hall
Founder and Chairman of the Board - Cherish Our Children International
