Dani Grodsky's Fundraising Page
In my freshman year Health class we watched a dateline program about the destitute living conditions of the many orphans in Romania. It was heart wrenching and even hard to watch, especially knowing that nothing was being done to help these innocent victims. However, what we didn't know is that when this show actually aired in 1993, a women watching from Houston, Texas, named Juli Hall was moved so much that she decided to create a global initiative to help make a difference in the Romanian children's lives.
To help make this difference she created Cherish Our Children International, which has grown today to have programs all around the world including Kenya, Romania, Serbia and Israel. These provide a brighter future for the world's impoverished and underprivileged children. Including a very cool program in Israel called Bridge to Peace. Soccer is a very popular sport in Israel and the program allows children to be a part of the action by participating in tournaments and watching their favorite athletes play. This overreaching love of the sport has been an amazing tool that COCI is utilizing to unite segregated children and provide them with educational activities.
