Funds in Children & Youth

Today, millions of children continue to be caught in humanitarian crises that are growing in complexity and scale. In 2023, conflict across the globe affected more than 460 million children. In conflict and disaster, children suffer first and most and are especially vulnerable to disease, malnutrition, and violence. UNICEF works to protect and assist children during emergencies, including refugee and migrant children, children caught in conflict and those affected by natural hazards such as earthquakes, floods, and landslides. We are present in over 190 countries and territories before, during, and after emergencies, preparing, responding, and re-building with local communities. Examples of UNICEF’s humanitarian response include: State of Palestine: Months of war and surging hostilities has caused devastating physical and mental impacts on children and their families in the State of Palestine, including alarmingly high casualties and displacement. UNICEF and partners are addressing the humanitarian needs of children and their families in a challenging humanitarian and security situation. Since October 21, 2023, at least 820 trucks containing UNICEF supplies have crossed into Gaza and as of May 2024, UNICEF has been able to reach approximately 1.6M children and their families with safe water and hundreds of thousands with medical supplies, nutrition supplements, and protective services. Haiti: Countrywide demonstrations in Haiti this year have led to significant deterioration in security. Before the current crisis, children in Haiti have experienced decades of inadequate basic services and extremely high inequality. These challenges have been compounded by violence, displacement, malnutrition, and disease outbreaks. UNICEF is helping to protect families, provide life-saving support, and is working with the government and partners to help sustain systems and services. In the first two months of the year, UNICEF and partners have reached 119,000 families with water and hygiene supplies, 40,000 women and children with healthcare, and screened 55,000 children for malnutrition. Ukraine: UNICEF has been present in Ukraine since 1997 and expanded humanitarian assistance for children and families after the escalation of the war over two years ago. In 2024, UNICEF has reached over 1.6M children and families with critical supplies and services. Inside Ukraine, UNICEF is ensuring children have access to health care, nutrition, education, safe water, mental health support, and more. In refugee hosting countries, UNICEF works with governments and local partners to strengthen national systems that provide refugee children and marginalized children from host communities with quality education, healthcare, and protection services. Afghanistan: UNICEF has been working to protect and support women and children in Afghanistan for nearly 75 years. In 2023, UNICEF continued scaling up humanitarian services to meet unprecedented needs. Afghanistan remains one of the top five at-risk countries for the effects of climate change and experienced its largest flooding event of the year in May. UNICEF is responding to affected areas with water trucking and essential supplies. From to Yemen to Myanmar, Democratic Republic of Congo to Syria, UNICEF is relentlessly responding to emergencies in countries around the world. With your support UNICEF can continue this critical work providing children with lifesaving services.

Every day in the life of a child is important — and every day is an opportunity to pursue relentless action that brings the world closer to a future where every child is healthy and happy. With more than 75 years of expertise, across 190 countries, UNICEF works to protect children’s rights, help meet their basic needs, and expand their opportunities to reach their full potential. Every day, children all over the world trust UNICEF to be there for them. Families trust UNICEF to help ensure their children are nourished, healthy, safe, and educated. Communities trust UNICEF to amplify their voice. Governments trust UNICEF to provide advice and support in shaping policies that affect millions. Partners and donors trust UNICEF to transform funding into effective action for children. UNICEF treasures this trust, and it is this trust that allows UNICEF to deliver lasting change for children. In 2023, among other results, UNICEF and partners reached more than 23 million people with safe drinking water, vaccinated over 27 million children against measles, and provided more than 150 million children with services for the early detection and treatment of child wasting (severe acute malnutrition) in high-risk settings. In 2024, UNICEF is continuing to work around the clock for children and their families across the world. Every dollar adds up to big impact: • $1.25 can provide can provide 50 MUAC bands (tools for the early detection of malnutrition in children 6-59 months) • $5 can provide 20 doses of the polio vaccine, or safe water to one child for 1 year • $13 could purchase 1 pack of 10 exercise books • $16 could provide a family with a small tent to act as a temporary shelter • $50 could purchase 1 emergency first aid kit (or 20 cholera testing kits) On behalf of children and families across the globe, thank you for your support.

A small non-profit but 100% run by unpaid volunteers including myself for many years, where every single penny goes to schooling or athletic programmes in remote villages in several African countries. Mostly in north east Kenya but also a few other locations like Houtbaai in South Africa. In a volatile world, it is important not to forget about these small but locally impactful projects. We work together with real local heroes such as Olympic champion Faith Kipyegon, herself a former beneficiary, and Haile Gebrselassie.

Wenonah Elementary strives to improve the lives of our students, their families, and the larger community. We are looking for donations to support a parent education program to target family engagement, chronic absenteeism, proper hygiene, managing behaviors, and resources to help caregivers. Raising Great Minds is a parent education program to improve the well being of our students, their families, and the larger community. Wenonah Elementary is partnering with the office on youth to provide a year long program for parents and caregivers. It will focus on giving caregivers tools and strategies for managing behavior at home, setting routine, building independence, teaching proper hygiene, and providing caregivers with resources to help. With the communities support, we are hoping to provide free diner, free childcare, and door prizes for the families who attend. We need your donations and support to make this program successful!

Mission of the Pegasus Education Foundation The Pegasus Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not for profit corporation with the mission of enhancing teaching and learning in the Paulsboro Public Schools. The Foundation provides: • Resources such as Action Grants to teachers to implement innovative programs for students. • Living essentials such as food to families of students in need. • Resources to aid students in the transition from high school to college, vocational training, and careers. • Funding for 21st century programs such as a Preschool – 12 STEAM Academy (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics). Ongoing Pegasus Education Foundation Projects: Feed the Children Campaign At this time, nearly 51% of the youngsters attending the Paulsboro Public Schools are considered economically disadvantaged. The number of homeless students is also increasing. As a result, the district was accepted into the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program. This federally funded program provides free breakfast and lunch for every student enrolled in the school district. Unfortunately, food insecurity remains a significant challenge for many students. In order to address this challenge, the Board of Education and the Pegasus Education Foundation partnered to create the Feed the Children Campaign. Feed the Children provides $50 gift cards to local grocery stores to assist some of the neediest families. To date, approximately 480 gift cards have been/will be distributed. It is noteworthy that the Carmel S. Morina Sons of Italy Lodge conducted a benefit spaghetti dinner on July 7, 2023. The Lodge donated every dollar ($2,591) raised to Foundation to use in the Feed the Children Campaign. Pegasus Scholars Students are able to earn college create while still in high school by participating in dual credit and high school option programs. Statewide, 22.3% of students earn college credit prior to high school graduation. Unfortunately, prior to the 2022-2023 school year, no Paulsboro High School students earned college credit prior to graduation. During the 2022-2023 school year, the Board of Education and Pegasus Education Foundation partnered to pay tuition costs for the 22 (11% of the PHS junior and senior students) Paulsboro High School students who participated in college credit programs. During the first semester of the current school year, 24 students earned college credit. When second semester courses are recorded, Paulsboro High School will be very close to the state average for these programs. The Foundation also wrote an application for a United Way of Gloucester County Live United Grant to help fund the Pegasus Schools Program. The grant was awarded in the amount of $1,000. The purpose of this grant was to help increase equity and diversity. At present, 56% of the Pegasus Scholars are students of color. The school administration and staff are now working to remove other barrier to participation in rigorous college courses. By illustration, many parents find the application process daunting. To address this challenge, an evening meeting took place at PHS so that college representatives and school staff could help parents with the application process. Another barrier to participating in college level courses is that students must pass the Accuplacer examination prior to enrolling. Transportation to colleges to take the exam was a barrier for many students. In order to address this challenge, the administration is working to have Accuplacer administered at Paulsboro High School. The district is also conducting after school tutoring courses to prepare student for Accuplacer. STEAM Center at Loudenslager Elementary School Another successful project jointly funded by the Pegasus Education Foundation and Paulsboro Board of Education is the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) Center at Loudenslager Elementary School. Every student in grades 3-6 continue to have two periods of STEAM instruction every week in the state-of-the-art STEAM Center. I encourage you to go on Facebook and friend “Rebecca Ann” in order to see the high-quality activities taking place in the STEAM Center. STEAM Center at Billingsport Early Childhood Center STEAM instruction is also underway at Billingsport Early Childhood Center. Every student from preschool through grade 2 now receives two periods per week of hands-on STEAM activities. Having said this, the preschool through grade six component of the districtwide STEAM Academy is now “up and running” thanks to your generosity. While STEAM instruction is taking place, work still needs to be done to make the STEAM Center at Billingsport a user-friendly facility. Once again, Garrison Architects is leading the way by providing its design expertise free of charge. The Foundation is expecting the Board of Education to submit grant applications as follows. As always, the Foundation will donate matching funds to those provided by the Board of Education. o The desktop and laptop computers are physically too large for the preschool and kindergarten students. The school will ask the Foundation to help purchase iPads so that these children can fully participate in STEAM activities. o The technology room was designed for desktop computers. These fixed place computer locations are not user friendly for students moving from activity to activity using laptops and iPads. As a result, the school will ask to partner with the Foundation to update the electric and internet wiring in the technology room and STEAM Center. o Now that both Loudenslager Elementary School and Billingsport Early Childhood Center have STEAM Centers, it is important for the teachers to coordinate the curriculum and instruction being offered. Funds will be needed to pay the teachers for professional development time after school and on weekends.

Thank you for helping the Birmingham office raise money to sponsor Children's Hospital Gowns for our local hospitals. Every $25 that is donated, 1 gown is donated.... it is that simple :) We at Brave Gowns! are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to welcome you all into our mission to provide children in Central Florida and beyond with the gift of joy, self-confidence, and happiness. Our gowns are a complete re-design from the scratchy and boring hospital gowns we have all had the fun trying to tie so our butts don't hang out! Brave Gowns not only have fun prints that cover the entire front like costumes; they are made out of an amazingly soft fabric that resembles your soft, favorite t-shirt, or nightgown! They have IV access on both sleeves, access to chest ports and heart monitors and last but definitely not least; three panels for protection, which will allow the gowns to tie on the side, so no more having to worry about a draft or the back opening. While the gowns are softer than you can even imagine, they meet all hospital standards and hold up to industrial washings competing with gowns being offered currently. Children have minimal control in their daily lives and especially when going through treatment for an illness. Becoming a superhero or a rockstar will allow them to access some sense of power during this scary time.

Dear colleagues, Children in Gaza currently live in catastrophic conditions: acute malnutrition, sickness, displacement, lack of schooling, and trauma. Other than the physical disabilities, they suffer from severe mental health issues and risk developing lifelong cognitive disabilities according to experts. With your help, you can make their long road of healing shorter. This fund is for two prominent and internationally-recognized organizations: Doctors Without Borders and Save The Children. With close collaboration with their branches in the Netherlands, this fund will be dedicated to the nutrition, health and education of Gaza’s children. ASML’s special double matching campaign (200% added by ASML) gives your donation extra impact. But this is valid only for some time so please donate asap. Our core values as ASML employees should not be restricted to the walls of our campus. We should rather wear them as a badge of honor and spread them in the world around us. So let’s Collaborate and Care for the Children of Gaza.

For my birthday this year I'd like to raise money for Terre des Hommes.

It is with great sadness that we share the news of Rick Charns passing away unexpectedly on Monday, March 11th. Rick was first and foremost a loving father and husband to his nine-year-old son Nathan and his wife Lyn. You would be hard-pressed to find a picture of Rick without his family by his side. He often shared sweet family moments with friends at work, most recently texting “Proud Papa” to a colleague when Nathan hit a homerun at his spring baseball season opener.  Everyone who knew Rick here at work over his 17-year tenure knew that he was passionate about his projects, his customers, and supporting his team. Rick was instrumental in the success of the US DUV UIR team. He helped drive the team to meet seven out of seven upgrades to meet KPIs in the second half of 2023, a significant turn-around in their success.  In the past week alone, he told colleagues how proud he was of the team for beating the install cycle time commitment on their first NXT:1470 install, an achievement that resulted in an email recognition from the customer. A sentiment shared by many, one colleague put it into words well saying, “I always admired Rick’s dedication to his projects and to his project personnel. He was relentless in meeting his customer goals and ensuring that his people were properly supported throughout projects. His dedication to his family was beautiful to witness as well. He constantly spoke of his adoration for his wife and his aspirations for his young son.” He will be greatly missed by his family and so many at ASML. Anyone who knew Rick, knew how much he loved to watch his son play baseball. Rick's family is requesting donations to the Gilbert Little League in lieu of flowers.
