As a result of your generosity and support we achieved our goal and are now a permanent member of the Global Giving community and My Arms Wide Open will now be able to list additional projects on their site as well as receive support and assistance from them as well in marketing our initiatives. During the August campaign we raised over $4,350 from 61 new individual donors!

Our current My World In A Garden - Sister Walls initiative under our My World My Garden program, is ongoing and ultimately we want to raise $55,000 to install two walls and develop curriculums that will be used to enage children, youth and the broader community.  Over the coming weeks we will introduce you to a number of our other initiatives too. Please watch our blog and site under the 'What's New' sections for more details as they become available.

For more information you can take a look at each of them under:

• My Business My Community,
• My First Steps My Path, and
• My Mentor My Coach programs.

We are all truly inspired by your out-pouring of love and support.

Gratefully,

Warren and the My Arms Wide Open Team

The My Arms Wide Open® Charitable Foundation, was established to provide support and collaboration with mothers, children, and youth in South Africa, enabling them to build sustainable communities and responsible businesses. With stronger families, communities emerge as a solid foundation for society. In the process they re-engage fathers to repair the family unit. In our definition, mothers include women who are caring for children and include child-led households, working within the pre-teen and teen groups. Fathers include the fathers, young males and adult males within the community.
