Join the Jatukik Providence Foundation at American University on April 7th for the AU CONGO COLLABORATION CHALLENGE!

Working with university campuses across the country, Jatukik aims to use the creativity of each campus's students to promote awareness for the difficulties facing the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Events may feature speakers, musical performances, and more, and work with individual donations, business sponsorships, and other means to raise at least $600 to sponsor one Congolese orphan child for at least one full year.

This premiere event at American University will feature Congolese art and jewelry, music on the quad and a giant map of the Congo to sign to show your support. (Not to mention free food and give aways....)

Already 500 orphans have been cared for by the Foundation and there are thousands more that are still abandoned by superstitious parents who are convinced that their children are possessed simply because they act childish. Now is the time to mobilize at the level that counts - at the grassroots.

DON'T FORGET: Join Jatukik, your fellow AU students, and other DC university students at LOTUS on Saturday, April 9th, for CLUBBIN' FOR THE CONGO. More info here: http://on.fb.me/ClubCongo

--About the Jatukik Providence Foundation--

Established in 1999, the Jatukik Providence Foundation is a nonprofit, relief and development organization catering to underprivileged communities in the Congo and Haiti. Through community-based projects in health, education and conservation, the Foundation facilitates self-sustained relief endeavors so that communities can build their own pathways out of poverty. In recent years, the organization has expanded its relief efforts in neighboring African countries and inner city communities in the United States.
