Friends of El Shadai is a champion of the One World Children’s Fund (OWFC) working to support the El Shadai family foster home in Bugembe, Uganda. It is a concept started by four friends who wish to bring awareness about Africa, poverty, AIDS and humanity.  As “Friends of El Shadai” we believe that every action we take to bring possitive changes in Africa, will result in greater goodness of the entire world.

The prevailing situation of HIV/AIDS, poverty and violence in Uganda have left many children orphaned. Friends of El Shadai (www.friendsofelshadai.com) – is a SF-based organization, whose mission is to provide over forty orphans of the El Shadai Foster Home in Jinja, Uganda with shelter, education, medical care and other life necessities.

Proceeds from this event will go towards the building of the Family home in Jinja. The purpose is to create a safe, healthy environment for the children to help them heal the traumas of being abandoned or losing one or both parents to a deadly disease. The new  conditions will allow for counseling, health education, continued development of various skills, which the children will benefit from in the  future. We seek to empower the El Shadai orphans to become healthy, independent and socially responsible members of the society.

On Friday, October 23rd, Beats for Boobs will host its 6th its annual fundraiser at 111 Minna Gallery. Beats for Boobs was originally founded in 2003 by Juliana Cochnar in honor of her mother who is a breast cancer survivor.

The popular annual fundraiser seeks to educate the community on breast cancer through a collaborative celebration of art, fashion, food and music. Proceeds from Beats for Boobs benefit the Breast Cancer Emergency Fund (BCEF) and Susan G. Komen for the Cure.  BCEF provides short-term emergency financial assistance to low-income San Franciscans battling breast cancer and also makes referrals to agencies that can provide longer-term care.  The well-known Komen Foundation aims to eradicate breast cancer through research, education, screening and treatment.

This year’s theme is “Green is the new Pink” and will center around healthy living. Knowing that environmental toxins are one of the leading causes of disease, cancer, birth defects, asthma, and reproductive harm, Beats for Boobs will help educate people on how to reduce exposure in their own lives.  The best cure for breast cancer is prevention.

Beats for Boobs raised over $15,000 at the 2008 event and hopes to increase that number to $25,000 this year. By purchasing tickets or making a donation, you can share the vision of a world without breast cancer.
