ABC donated and delivered toys to 25 school children who live in slums in Goa, India. Each child received two gifts and some candy and the school was given jump ropes, drums, plastic animal figures, hula hoops and rubber balls for all the children to use.  These gifts were very well received as many of the children do not have toys to play with.  ABC was received with songs and holiday dances and heartfelt smiles.

The AlphaBet Club volunteers visited children in hospitals around Amsterdam and delivered gifts to them to brighten their holiday spirits.

“Many thanks to the dedicated and fun members  of the ABC club who hugely contributed to the successful Zwartepieten project  this December (2009) in Amsterdam. We appreciate your donations and volunteering to  help ensure a smile on the faces of a lot of sick and hospitalized children who  weren’t able to celebrate Sinterklaas at home with their loved ones.”

In 2009, a 4 room Primary school in Phiangdokkam, (Northern) Laos was inaugurated thanks to the AlphaBet Club funding Room to Read Foundation. This is the first educational infrastructure project that the ABC funded, and we’re pleased with how the project turned out and the impact that it had on children in the local community.

The new building covers an area of 28m long x 8m wide and is a sturdy, four room brick structure erected on a concrete foundation, with steel-reinforced ground and roof … Read more »

“Economics, cultural bias and gender discrimination often exclude girls from educational opportunities in the developing world. Yet, it  is widely acknowledged that educating girls is the most powerful and effective  way to address global poverty – and the single best investment one can make. When  girls learn, their families, communities and societies all benefit. Educating  girls is directly linked to positive outcomes, including:

Lower infant mortality rates
Increased eventual wages
Increased likelihood of educating the next generation
Improved family health
Success in combating the spread … Read more »
