CRC and America
UNICEF in America – Rebuilding the future of America
UNICEF in America witnesses two phases - One is a positive fund raising activity in North America and the other is the negative plight of the Caribbean and Latin America.
In Latin America and Caribbean, more than 40% of the population is under the age of 18. Out of these, more than half live below poverty line. The UNICEF works on the six main issues engulfing this region.
Latin America Childcare – Creating hope all across America
LACC is a non-profit organization, working towards educating poor kids in Latin America and the Caribbean. It is the brainchild of a Latin American Pastor Bueno and his wife. They were encouraged to do so, back in 1963, when they saw the plight of poor children living on the streets near their church in El Salvador. They were later joined by missionaries Doug and Myrna Peterson in 1978.
