We need to
raise $1,500 for Go Help before our launch date, July 10th, 2010. Go Help
is contributing to the following charities:
Ulaanbataar Child Care Centre
"The project seeks to establish a new child centre in central location of
Ulaanbaatar City to function as a drop-in and support service centre for street
children. The project proposes to relocate the child centre to more centrally
located place in the city where street children are. This will allow more
street children to benefit from family reunification activities, developmental
activities, referral services, individual and group counselling services, and
other essential services planned for street children through the newly
established child centre. In addition, the new child centre will function as a
support centre to NGOs and government agencies working on street children
issues. The project also seeks to equip a newly constructed Rehabilitation and
Education Centre in Ulaanbaatar with technical therapy equipment needed to
function as the national rehabilitation centre for children with physical and
learning disabilities."
Riding Helmets for Child Jockeys
"Jockeys are
traditionally children, aged between 4-10 years old, and in a country where
there are 100,000 races a year there many are injuries and fatalities. In
recent years there have been around 15 deaths each year, which could easily be
avoided if children wore helmets. This project aims to distribute riding
helmets to children taking part in the horse racing events in the traditional
Naadam festival in Mongolia."
Rehabilitation and Education Centre for Children with Disabilities
"Recently a Rehabilitation and Education Centre for Children with
Disabilities has been constructed by Save the Children, however it now needs
some additional work before it can become fully operational. The outside
area of the building needs to be refurbished and additional tools designed for
children with disabilities, detection signalization and a wooden floor in the
physical therapy room need to be installed."
These are just three causes that Go Help supports. The rest are here.
