Why is Kumar smiling?
He didn't use to. After his father abandoned the family, his mother raised him all by herself. Life was extremely tough. Her job barely covered the rent. Many days, there was no money left for food.
This is just one of the reasons that KidStar Radio Network is so excited about the opportunity to partner with CWNEA.
The hopes are to enable KidStar Stations within the Children's outreach programs that are sponsored by CWNEA where ever they might be in the world.
The ability to bring a new educational medium to these children is wonderful, but to also provide a vehicle that can reach out world wide in locating funding and support for these children with such great needs is absolutely paramount.
Now this child's belly doesn't growl all night. He sleeps in a nice new bed and sees a doctor regularly. He just started first grade and loves the priests and sisters who teach him. Thanks to his sponsor, Kumar has a reason to smile.
Please support KidStar and CWNEA in this very large endeavor. Help one more child go to a warm bed with a full tummy. Contact us for more information about this amazing new program. |
 Amidst the upheavals and challenges of the modern world, CNEWA (Catholic Near East Welfare Association) has been a lifeline for those in need throughout the Middle East, Northeast Africa, India and Eastern Europe for more than 75 years.
Founded in 1926 by Pope Pius XI, CNEWA's mandate is:
* to support the pastoral mission and institutions of the Eastern Catholic churches.
* to provide humanitarian assistance to those in need without regard to nationality or creed.
* to promote Christian unity and interreligious understanding and collaboration.
* to educate people in the West about the history, cultures, peoples and churches of the East.
CNEWA does not have inflexible priorities they are set based upon time, place and urgency of need. We do not compete; if other agencies are doing a good work, we leave it to them. CNEWA addresses those needs that would otherwise “fall through the cracks, enabling the power of love to reach men, women and children in need.
From training priests to serve the people of God in India to providing clean water systems to war-damaged villages in Lebanon from providing job opportunities to unemployed Palestinians to caring for orphaned children in Ethiopia “ from providing health care to the poor in Iraq to awarding scholarships for Orthodox priests to study in Catholic universities in Rome, CNEWA connects generous North Americans with those in need living in some of the remotest parts of the world.
The agency publishes a bimonthly magazine, ONE. Its name identifies the real spirit of CNEWA and its work – it is about one God, one world, one family and one church. Operationally, CNEWA's charism is always to act as if we are all one, unless we are forced to encounter a difference. |
