Our Mission
Providing Possibilities Foundation (PPF)
is non-profit 501(c)3 organization which seeks to encourage
children to become active participants in improving their
world. Children bring with them tremendous amounts of
spirit, creativity, and friendship. PPF seeks to guide
these unique skills and teach children that their positive
influence can change the world. By involving children in
projects that directly improve the lives of less fortunate
children, our children learn that even at a young age they
can make a difference. In this way, Providing Possibilities
Foundation raises the social consciousness of our youth
while helping other worthy causes.
How
Providing Possibilities' Kids are making a difference…
PPF Programs:
PPF holds fun and charitable workshops, fundraisers and
events where kids can use their creativity to help other
kids. Our programs include Raffle Fundraisers, Creating
Friendship Cards and One World PenPals
Walnut Grove Elementary School and Providing
Possibilities Foundation
held a “Kids For Kids” event that included making Friendship
Cards and holding a raffle that would help support the needy
children of Aarti Home Orphanage in India.
Friendship Cards: The kids made such touching and beautiful
friendship cards for the children of Aarti Home. They were
so willing to extend their friendship and support, as if
they understood the tremendous impact they were making. It
was very touching. They truly have made a difference in the
lives of less fortunate kids by simply reaching out to
them. The children of the Home were so excited that these
cards have been mailed to them! They simply couldn’t wait to
respond and are already making
Christmas cards to send back. This exchange is now
something they look forward to and gives them hope. Walnut
Grove kids should receive their next set of cards by the
time they get back from Christmas
break. Our next project will be to make friendship
bracelets!
Raffle:
The kids raised $1350 for the children of Aarti Home. 100%
of all the money raised will go towards providing food,
shelter, clothing and education to needy children.
A heart felt thanks to all the children and
parents who gave their time and heart to help someone
unknown so far away. During this busy season, it is
wonderful to see such generosity of spirit. Happy
Holidays!!!
The winning raffle ticket and iPOD SHUFFLE went to Isabella
in
Mrs. Martin’s 4th grade class!
Providing Possibilities Raffle, September 2009 Update:
THANK YOU
volunteers for all of your hard work!!
Helping Hearts
Home in Chennai,
India sends a hearty THANK YOU to all you kids who
participated in the iPhone raffle. 100% of the money you
raised was sent to the Home and used to help with
construction of the Home. The Board Members of Helping
Hearts Home wanted to send you this message:
“The great support offered by you allowed us to complete the
construction at Marai Malai Nagar (the Home), where three
bathrooms and toilets have been constructed at the first
floor, which is very much helpful to the children and Elders
of the home. The contribution also allowed for the extension
of the dining hall that was
very narrow and previously not used. You have helped
improve the quality of life and hygiene of the children and
elders. All the members of this Home are very much thankful
and grateful to you for the care and support shown towards
our home.”
Your efforts have made a huge difference in the lives of
needy children and elders. You can make a difference and
improve your world, and you all did. I hope you all
continue to look for ways to continue to do so!
Donations: 100% of all donations are tax deductible and will
go directly to worthy causes. Please check our website to

Creating
Cards and Tapestry September, 2009 Update: PPF Kids create beautiful friendship
cards for orphans in India and Indonesia as a symbol of
their friendship and support. Hundreds of these cards were
exchanged between these new friends, bringing joy to the
kids of Aarti Home (India) and the Give Light Foundation
(Aceh) and Helping Hearts Home (India).
In addition, the kids created beautiful wall tapestries that
were hung in these Homes. To view pictures from this
