Sanctuary For Kids Charity Initiative The major event has come at last! After many months of meticulous preparation and commitment, Amanda has started (as of today) her charity initiative - Sanctuary For Kids! Sanctuary for Kids is a not-for-profit organization that raises money for international and local children's charities, which support youth and children who are in crisis. Grown from the TV series, Sanctuary, Sanctuary for Kids will provide access to rare and experience-based auction items from the TV series to raise funds for its chosen charities. This year S4K is supporting two organizations: the Nepal Orphans Home (http://www.nepalorphanshome.org/), which attends to the welfare of children in Nepal who are orphaned, abandoned or not supported by their parents; and Watari's TTIP and TIPPY programs (http://www.watari.org/about_us.html), which work with the homeless youth population in Vancouver to help single and pregnant and parenting youth in safe, affordable housing and encourage commitment to their treatment plans. The auctions coming up the soonest, in November 2009, according to the Sanctuary For Kids official website, are: - Ebay.Com auctions - November 12 (9pm PST) to November 22, 2009 (9pm PST): (a) 20 minute Skype Chat with Amanda, (b) Sanctuary set tour and lunch with Amanda for winner and three friends, (c) Sonic Stunner (a Sanctuary prop to win), (d) opportunity to name a character on Sanctuary!
- Upcoming GABIT AT4 Convention in London, United Kingdom (November 13 to November 15, 2009 - proceeds from the auction at the event will go directly to Sanctuary For Kids.
Please visit the Sanctuary For Kids website for more information.
AmandaTapping.Com has been involved in playing a small part in this project from scratch. In collaboration with Sanctuary For Kids, we have set up a forum (please follow the links below) to provide a place and safe haven for you to discuss causes you champion, charities you feel passionate about, reasons why you feel strongly about aiding others and being involved in charities and sharing your charity-related stories - and make connections with other people all over the world based on that. The forum is called Community Charity Forum. The Forum is completely endorsed by Sanctuary For Kids. You need to register there separately from this website. On top of that, we have set up a web page which is to serve as a catalogue of charities. These are your local charities, beyond the ones supported by S4K. Feel free to post them there (no membership or registration required) and hopefully, this will help create a massive directory of organizations all over the world that you care about with causes you care about. Within the directory, you will find links to the forum. Please keep in mind that neither of these pages is about discussing Amanda's career - they are strictly about your discussion of charities and helping those less fortunate in this world - thus please refrain from discussing Amanda's work there. We hope for a lot of connections made based on what charities you support and what causes you champion. We wish Sanctuary For Kids to have a successful start, followed by many years of successful operation, helping children all over the world lead better, easier and more successful lives! Let Amanda's spirit - spirit of good will and random acts of kindness - prevail!
