AC–Orphanage
With the leadership of Michael and Lizz Gallagher, Karama Connection is now supporting AC–Orphanage in Arusha, Tanzania. Michael and Lizz visited the orphanage in Tanzania (East Africa) in January, 2009, where they met Angela, an orphan herself, the Director of the Orphanage, and ten beautiful orphans. The AC–Orphanage was established in September 2007, by developing relationships with the local government and taking in orphans whose parents had been victims of HIV and TB. Many of these children were days away from not surviving, wandering the streets, homeless and hungry until AC tracked them down and took them in.
AC provides safety, food and shelter for these children until they are old enough to enroll in the government school program. AC then uses money from the proceeds of their day care center and your donations to help send them to school. 100% of your donations will go directly to providing food, clean water, clothing and schooling for these children. As we raise money, we will post any pictures and letters we receive from AC, so you can see how your contributions affect the lives of these children! In fact, our first gallery of photos is just below.
This is a hand written letter from Angela, asking us for help to assist in funding of one of the children we met named Safiel Fadhili to be able to attend school.

Fate Monkey Inc. is kindly donating portions of the proceeds from the Snuggie Pub Crawl to the Karama Connection/AC Orphanage. Please feel free to donate even if you are not attending the pub crawl. A donation as small as $5 will help provide food for a week for one of these orphans.
