The Children of the Soil International, INC. (CHOTS) is pleased to announce their second annual Christmas give-back in Liberia, West Africa. The Christmas give-back is a chosen day of the festive season that CHOTS uses to deliver their donations for that year and celebrate the birth of Christ at a select orphanage(s) with food, games, etcetera.
CHOTS has chosen two orphanages to work with this year, namely: The Liberia Christian Youth Mission (81 children) and Hope in Christ Mission (76 children). Combine; they have 157 (one hundred fifty-seven) children and 20 (twenty) caregivers totaling 177 (one hundred seventy-seven) people. We are kindly inviting you to sponsor a meal(s) at the cost of two United States dollars ( $2.00 US) per plate as we bring joy to the festive season and the life of these children.

INTERVIEW WITH DAWNE GEE OF WAVE3 NEWS COUNTRY
Fundraiser for our Vocational Training Program (WATCH FULL INTERVIEW IN OUR GALLERY)
Our founder and co-founder visited Wave3 News to kindly inform the public about its cause and their coming fundraiser program scheduled for the 30th of September, 2023.
After two-plus years of assisting orphanages with tuition assistance, school essentials (backpack, books, pens/pencils, clothes, etcetera), and an end-of-the-year Christmas celebration. We were informed (during our founder’s visit to Liberia) that the children who have aged out of the orphanages have no resources to assist their post-orphanage life.
With that said, the team at CHOTS brainstormed means to empower these children through a vocational training program – considering that they have had caretakers for most of their lives. This program will provide skills like carpentry, tailoring, plumbing, baking, etcetera.
In doing so, CHOTS is kindly doing and inviting you all to its first-ever fundraiser in Louisville, Kentucky, in raising the amount $10,000 USD. This fund will construct a center that will host the children during their vocational training program and get the necessary materials and people to make succes of the program.
THANK YOU FERNCREEK BAPTIST CHURCH

PROJECT "PLANT A SEED"
Fundraiser Dinner
(Sept. 30, 2023, 6:00 PM - 9:30 PM)
Project "Plant A Seed" is an initiative to raise funds for the vocational training program we plan to launch next year. This program aims to equip underprivileged youth and orphans who are about to age out of their respective orphanages with practical skills that would empower their post-orphanage lives.
By attending the fundraising dinner, you will have an opportunity to positively impact the lives of these young people. Your generous contributions and presence will help us raise the necessary funds towards our minimum goal of $10,000 (by this year's end) to establish and sustain the vocational training program in Liberia.
