Zimbabwe Donations for 2012

We have two more days that are available this year to use for fully tax-deductible donations for 2012. We, at Ancient Ways as well as the residents of Mhondoro and Dewedzo Mountains, certainly appreciate all of what you have done in the past and however you help in the future.
We have great goals to accomplish and are able to fulfill these commitments because of your sustaining support. Health for all residents, and youth wellbeing (physically, emotionally, socially, academically), are our primary focuses for 2013. If you have not already visited our website check out www.ancient-ways.org or specifically for donating this year, go to https://ancient-ways.org/about/join-or-donate/2013-focus/. If you wish to use a credit card monthly, please call 877-TATENDA or 541-259-HOPE to set up a reoccurring payment. For example, $5.21 a week builds a well in Zimbabwe! And, $100 provides health care for 50 people, 40 of which are children! Are either of these within reach for your family?
Thank you if you have already earmarked our organization for your charitable giving! Please feel free to forward our story to a friend or family member. It takes a collaborative team here and there to move the wheels of progress. You are an important spoke in making the circle strong.
Wishing you and yours a safe, profitable, and happy new year!Казарки

Pampered Chef Fundraiser!

Great News! We are partnering with one of our music community members to raise money for our Zimbabwean Youth Well Being children utilizing the Pampered Chef products. People like to give gifts and Pampered Chef makes it easy to:
• order high quality and unique kitchen items,

We decided to collaborate with Robin Reimer as our consultant. She is donating time and proceeds to Ancient Ways. We thought you should know about this great way to ‘contribute’ to our efforts in Zimbabwe!межвенцовые утеплители, как сделать оптимальный выбор

Jangano Students Sponsored for 2012 – Thank you!

Thank you so much for your tremendous support this year to help keep the Jangano children in school. Since the school fees went up 33% as of January 2012, and donations were less this year, we ended up with many village residents trying to cover their children’s fees, hence some of the students were dropping out. Because of your generosity and timely response to our summer campaign to raise close to $4,000, we managed to get all the kids covered.

New videos from Zimbabwe!

Check out the new videos on our youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/Jaiaen?feature=mhee or our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ancient-Ways/151558868231343.

There are 3 videos of marimba classes at the Nhimbe Community Center.  The Nhimbe Community Center in Mhondoro offers marimba classes for all ages.  One video shows a beginning group of various ages learning from Kennedy, one of our Youth Well Being leaders. Based upon weather and whether we have visitors, classes are offered inside a Community Center hut and some are offered outside.

Another new video shows the Nhimbe Preschool children singing a classic song about body parts.

Funding for Jangano School Children Sponsorships

We have made great headway in raising funds for the school children in the Dewedzo region who are in the Jangano project. We only have 12% left to raise to keep these students in school for 2012! We started this year with $2,200, have raised over $3,200 in the last 2 months, and we have less than $750 left, thanks to many of your efforts.
Our challenges with keeping children in school have been more than a few but we are holding the vision. I want to encourage you to contact me right away if can offer some part of the $750. Please feel free to go on the website https://ancient-ways.org/projects/jangano/campaign-to-keep-jangano-children-in-school/ and make a donation of any amount there, or send a check to Ancient Ways at PO Box 346 Scio OR 97374. We also can take credit cards of any type over the phone at 877-TATENDA. Do consider this request now as the children’s school fees must be paid right away. The immediacy of the concern is great because as soon as Fradreck returns home to the villages, he will be confronted with deciding who doesn’t go to school based upon our success on this side. Please feel free to write me with any questions at windgatherer@ancient-ways.org. Thank you to all of you who have been helping, both financially, and in mind and body.RA Grani
