Children in Need

Our Mission

"Our Mission" page:

Dr. Tolle, along with other dedicated doctors sent to Lesotho by Baylor International Pediatric AIDS Initiative, is helping children in these bush-hospitals, who are suffering from AIDS. My goal is to collect toys for these children and build them a playground.

I was brought up in an orphanage myself, so I know the hardship these children face, never having a hug or a kiss from an adult, never feeling special, always feeling alone and worthless. I also never played on or even saw a playground as a child, so now this is my way of helping these children feel good and letting them know we care.

I currently have around 80 people on my e-mail list, who have given beanies or money to help the Lesotho Children's Fund. I encourage everyone who visits this site, to join us and donate. Contributors will be added to the e-mail list and will get a monthly update of everything we are doing. Be assured, your donation will be added to the fundraising goal of $30,000 for the first playground and you can follow the progress of the project at every step.
