Crowdfunding Campaign: At 10:30 PDT May 4 Songea's Kids began its first ever crowdfunding campaign to raise critically needed funds to feed and educate the orphans in Mshangano Village. Linda Hines, Songea's Kid President, pushed the GO button at the Songea's Kids exhibit table at the 14th Annual Hobby and Volunteer Expo in Issaquah. The campaign goal? Raise $25,000 in 60 days. EVERYONE please log on to donate. Then email, tweet, Facebook your friends and personally ask them to do the same ASAP to build momentum. We need a CROWD of donors (no amount is too small) to make this happen. Think of the faces of the children on this page and website who will eat and go to school because YOU gave to the LIFE FUND and EDUCATION/SCHOLARSHIP FUND. Special perks include RT ticket Seattle to Songea and 5 one-year memberships to Costco. Thank you!"

Chicken-Raising Project: Work is underway in Mshangano Village on the chicken-raising project to improve nutrition for the children and provide income to sustain the project. Local laborers using local materials are building the chicken coop now under the direction of a village planning committee and supervision by Jirani Mwema. Thanks to Sowing Seeds of Hope for funding this entrepreneurial project.
