Holy Cross Lutheran Church San Diego participates annually in the Interfaith Shelter program providing overnight hosts and hot evening meals for the shelter.  Interfaith Shelter Network is a volunteer organization that works with  churches to provide temporary shelter and meals for those individuals  and families that find themselves without housing. The Shelter works  with those that are alcohol and drug free and are in the process of  finding work or have a job but need help finding permanent housing.

 The mission of the Africa Empowering Children (AEC) Organization near Nairobi, Kenya is to  provide a stable foundation that is rooted in education and health care  for orphaned, vulnerable, deprived and destitute children who have lost  their own family. We provide a loving and safe, family environment that  enables children the right to be happy, educated, skilled and lead a  healthy life.

Their aims and objectives include: 

• Provide love, food, shelter, clothing, education, safe drinking  water, medical care and career opportunities to orphaned, deprived and  destitute children.
• Help cut down the number of street children in the Kenyan society.
• Reduce HIV/AIDS related cases, through education and prevention.
• Improve access to education for underprivileged children, by creating a sponsorship program.
• Help  children who are not academically inclined to acquire technical skills,  which will allow them to support themselves in the future.
• Continue the close working relationship with Government Rescue Centers and Children’s Homes in order to help provide the local community with the fundamentals needed in their society.
