2008 Annual Highlight - Great Work Accomplished in Zimbabwe Our
yearly Hope Trip took place in September 2008. Six volunteers went
to Zimbabwe, and the experience was wonderful! Our volunteers were able
to see the plight of children first hand, to work with them in the
orphanages, and to hand out supplies in the villages. In addition to
our Hope Trip, we accomplished many other exciting goals. We
sponsored 120 children of Zimbabwe, provided 30 school uniforms, paid
30 school fees, and shipped 30 boxes of supplies. Heart4Kids also
secured a location for our orphanage project, which we hope to start
construction 2009. Watch a video of our 2008 Hope Trip.
2007 Annual Highlight - Another Very Successful Hope Trip
The Heart4Kids yearly Hope Trip took place in October of 2007. The
trip consisted mostly of the distribution of supplies to children in
Zimbabwe, While there, Heart4Kids volunteers were able to visit well
over 200 children including two orphanages and two schools in Zimbabwe,
share pen pal letters written by Atlanta-area children, and distribute
donated items directly to the children in Zimbabwe! Watch a video of our 2007 Hope Trip.
2006 Annual Highlight - Heart4Kids Provides School Fees for Children.
Heart4Kids fully paid school fees for ten children in Zimbabwe in 2006.
This accomplishment was made possible in part by funds raised during
our Mothers Day Fund Raiser and with generous donations from the law
Firm of Mr. Ron White.
2005 Annual Highlight - Heart4Kids Helps the Child Victims of Katrina and their Parents
In 2005 the Gulf Region of the United States was hit by one of the
deadliest and costliest hurricanes, Hurricane Katrina. Many people
found refugee in Dallas Texas. Heart4kids organized volunteers to visit
refugees from Louisiana and assist with distribution of diapers,
clothing and information. Majority of items that were donated were
originally intended to be shipped to Africa but due to logistical
challenges, had been kept in storage for several months when they were
used for the people of Louisiana.
2004 Annual Highlight - Heart4Kids Completes a Successful Christmas Hope Trip
Heart4Kids, a very young organization, started in November 2004. Nevertheless, it's amazing how
much was accomplished this short time. Heart4Kids publicized the Christmas drive on radio K104
and through American Airlines and everyone responded so generously. Heart4Kids then wrapped
and packaged these gifts and took them to Zimbabwe and with the help of American Airlines
and Airline Ambassadors.
While in Zimbabwe we were blessed to meet over 300 children at three facilities, and pass
out nearly 250 gifts to thankful children.
