As sisters, brother, cousins and in-laws began to die from AIDS, the Sebabis found themselves sole providers for all the children left behind. The burden became too great for them bear alone. Ugandan Lambs was established to help provide for the needs of these children, and move them toward independence and a hopeful future. Originally, Ugandan Lambs began with 25 children. Today, there are 58, ranging in ages from 4 to 20.<br /><span class="bodyTableHeadline"><br /></span>Uganda began to document its first AIDS cases in 1982, calling the<br />disease “slim” for its skeleton-producing effects upon the body. Scientists believe that this region of Africa, around the area of Lake Victoria, was where HIV first began infecting humans. To date, over 1.6 million Ugandans have died from the disease, and another one million are living with HIV. <p>Today, Uganda is widely hailed as Africa's AIDS success story. In 1992 it had a 16 percent rate of infection; by 2003 it had dropped to 4 and 6 percent. The turnaround is widely attributed to President Yoweri Museveni, who spoke out early and often about the disease, and a homegrown grassroots campaign from ordinary Ugandans to care for the sick and educate the healthy. However, even as HIV/AIDS statistics begin to recede, the situation for the children left behind by the disease worsens by the day.<br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Julie Schumacher, Director<br /> Email: ugandanlambs@gracelb.org<br /> Phone: 562-595-6881, ext 232<br /> Web: www.ugandanlambs.org<br /> Mailing address: 3590 Elm Avenue<br /> Long Beach, CA 90807</p>We Love Long Beachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05314993941014317628noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1021970117702255795.post-56516121850835441022009-07-20T18:39:00.000-07:002009-07-20T18:42:07.324-07:00The Steel Magnolias<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFTiWjWS8_IV0WTkH_3GWK2AMgJxSDX4vg1-Z2xu5cgawNYlYLciWCNsAMeIhYcmlQ_belO5-9eWR6qvfZGCiVzm5Ix4u5PR-UaDp_y47Cyh6k1DxwA6D8ijm4cJOp4k0vRTEaWShUUlO_/s1600-h/Picture+45.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 45px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFTiWjWS8_IV0WTkH_3GWK2AMgJxSDX4vg1-Z2xu5cgawNYlYLciWCNsAMeIhYcmlQ_belO5-9eWR6qvfZGCiVzm5Ix4u5PR-UaDp_y47Cyh6k1DxwA6D8ijm4cJOp4k0vRTEaWShUUlO_/s400/Picture+45.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360722280595378610" border="0" /></a><br />To raise funds and to promote goodwill and the public’s awareness of the needs and services of the Stramski Children’s Developmental Center.<br />By raising funds, through a variety of events and projects, the Steel Magnolias support the Geraldine A. Stramski Children’s Developmental Center, located in Miller Children’s Hospital, Long Beach, California.<br /><br />The Stramski Developmental Center is a special needs center created to help children and families deal with conditions like autism, cleft lip and palate, learning problems, mental retardation, developmental delays and birth defects. The center also has a sleep disorders and international adoption clinic. For many of these children their conditions are invisible, serious and life-long and they face almost insurmountable challenges. Very few of these situations are “quick-fixes” and require numerous visits and extensive pre-consult and post consult work. Children need advocates and for many of our patients, parents are not effective in this role primarily due to cultural, educational and language differences. The Stramski Center fills this gap by facilitating access to services and monitoring progress. Using a multidisciplinary approach, the center is able to provide individualized care to help children reach their optimum potential.<br /><br /><br />please contact the Steel Magnolias at<br />562-331-8007<br />or<br /><a href="mailto:thesteelmagnolias.longbeach@earthlink.net">thesteelmagnolias.longbeach@earthlink.net</a>.We Love Long Beachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05314993941014317628noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1021970117702255795.post-16572241210006181982009-07-20T18:36:00.001-07:002009-07-20T18:37:48.209-07:00The State of The Art Project<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipAc5cRVafrcYkB9QRym97bXlZhiH0WXnjNc2Q_fJGgDa1M5C1iqCa1gSCkDFAAhh7h8zqIFRC3UiHQprMs4aPvFFECvYEUJYsDUtQbMTA-BzDC02-w3VooyzedKQdjGm6elHcIThVDCAE/s1600-h/Picture+44.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 208px; height: 100px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipAc5cRVafrcYkB9QRym97bXlZhiH0WXnjNc2Q_fJGgDa1M5C1iqCa1gSCkDFAAhh7h8zqIFRC3UiHQprMs4aPvFFECvYEUJYsDUtQbMTA-BzDC02-w3VooyzedKQdjGm6elHcIThVDCAE/s400/Picture+44.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360721346061082834" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="line-height: 16px;" class="style_4">The State of Art Project is devoted to nurturing the imagination of our youth to influence positive and sustainable change.<br /></span> <p class="paragraph_style_1"><span style="line-height: 16px;" class="style_4"><br /></span></p> <p class="paragraph_style_1"><span style="line-height: 16px;" class="style_4">Founded in 2006, The State of Art Project is dedicated to providing Media Arts education to the youth of Long Beach.

Many of our clients come from alcoholic families. Many have experienced years of incest or other forms of abuse. Some spent years in foster care or even became indigent.<br /></p><p>Pathways to Independence was founded in 1991 by educators, Dave & Joyce Bishop, and received 501(c)(3) status as a Public Charity in February, 1994. The Bishops initial goal was to help a former student, Monica, get advanced education and achieve self-sufficiency. Monica was the product of a dysfunctional alcoholic family and at age 19 had a 2 year-old daughter and no support. With the Bishops' help, Monica was able to get advanced training and a full-time job with health benefits for her and her daughter.</p><p><span class="style4"><strong>Mail</strong><br /> Pathways to Independence<br /> P.O.

When forty yeas ago our first program, PROJECT TUTOR, began, the response was explosive: within 6 months, Project Tutor had to be moved to a larger facility, located at 2222 Olive Avenue in Long Beach. Less than one year from its inception, CIL was incorporated as a nonprofit organization. CIL continued to successfully grow, as early organizers began to expand CIL's services in response to residents' needs.
