About the Africa Vulnerable Children Project

Our desire to assist in Africa springs directly from Zen awareness practice. It is our experience that learning to turn compassion and unconditional acceptance towards oneself creates a deep sense of joy and peace. It is from this place of profound well-being that one is called into the world to assist where assistance is needed—not because there is something wrong or something to fix, but rather because we are moved to participate in life with our fellow human beings. It is in this spirit that we offer the work of the Africa Vulnerable Children Project.
