About Us

Jan Paschal

I have had the priviledge of visiting over 3,500 schools world-wide.  I have also spoken with civic, church. community and government groups about the children.  I have found that we have an army of people with the same goal of helping our child grow and develop into citizens of the world.  I hope to be a part of an effort to give every child the tools to be able to contribute to others. I know that libraries can be opened filled with thousands of donated books; clothes can be given to children in desperate need; food banks can deliver food to the hungry.  I have been a part of doing this work from South Africa to the Mississippi River Delta.  I want to now build a strong coalition that will insure our future generations  a world where education and understanding of each other are universal.
