Foundation Objectives:

Help children, families, individuals and communities worldwide living under adverse conditions due to natural disasters, disease, abuse, poverty, war, hunger, lack of education and medical resources.

Provide programs, support and supplies for hospitals, orphanages, natural disaster relief stations, abuse and homeless shelters, schools and caregivers.

Help children acquire the physical and emotional capacity to endure the challenges of the present and future.

Reveal to the participants the recuperative values of sharing experiences and caring for each other, and to help others who are experiencing similar ordeals.

Allow children to be children.

Serve as a year-round resource to the children, their families, health care professionals and caregivers worldwide.

Inspire and educate the public to further develop opportunities for foundation participants.
