Gaia Holistic Foundation&#8217;s Annual Manjushree Orphanage Gala<br />
Date: Wednesday, October 25, 2017 ($135 per person! Seat Limited)<br />
Time: 6pm &#8211; 9pm (Full Course Authentic Tibetan Dinner)<br />
Venue: Tibet House. 22 W 15th St, New York, NY 10011</p>
<p>This year, our Gala Tibetan Dinner for the Manjushree Orphanage Endowment Fund includes auctions (including live auctions for trips to Manjushree, Bhutan, Japan with Dr Kazuko), films on Manjushree and other attractions will be happening! I would like to take you to Himalaya because, for sure, just like me, you will be so moved to tears by these kids who seem to be naturally born with compassion and are growing up with it naturally. Although they have nothing, they have so much more than we do. I myself go there thinking that I am giving, but every time, I realize more learning and receiving more than giving. Would you like to become a sponsor for these incredible children?<br />
In 1998, the young Tibetan monk named Lama Thupten Phuntsok founded the Manjushree Orphanage with 17 orphaned Tibetan children and as now over 225 including destitute Indian children. Last year we had 17 graduated and amazingly all went to college with scholarship! I presented everyone an iPad, of course it was their first computer!! My wish is to open 9 such an Orphanage throughout the world, modeling Manjushree.</p>
<p>Sponsor a Child: $36 per month, $432 per annual<br />
(Including education, health insurance &#038; boarding)</p>

Riley Unlikely Shares the Journey of a Remarkable Teenager<br />
Finding a Love for Kenyan Children and a Mission to Build a School<br />
Grand Rapids, Mich., June 2016 — At the age of 13, Riley Banks-Snyder traveled to Kenya where she sat in a classroom full of first and second graders sharing a single pencil. The presents Riley was so excited to give the kids paled in importance to the school supplies that were easily accessible back home in Branson, MO. Riley realized these kids didn’t need matchbox cars or jump ropes. They needed pencils and paper.</p>
<p>As soon as her plane touched down in America, Riley knew she wanted to go back. At the age of 14, Riley started a non-profit, Generation Next, to help collect school supplies for Kenyan schools and returned the following year with 200 backpacks filled with donated supplies. </p>
<p>“I had no idea that God was going to use what happened at that school, with those kids, to begin weaving Africa into the fabric of my story,” says Riley. “God put a love for Kenyan children in my heart and gave me an impulse to want to help them.”</p>
<p>In Riley Unlikely: With Simple Child-Like Faith, Amazing Things Can Happen, Riley brings readers on her journeys to Kenya and the unexpected hardships and disappointments that showed Riley how to truly trust in God. From the first smells when her plane touches down to God planting the idea of opening a school in Kibwezi, Kenya, Riley shows the immense impact one life can have and encourages readers to find their own passions. Not everyone will be called to Kenya to build schools and community centers, but everyone can do something to make a profound difference.</p>
<p>From the very beginning, Riley had a vision that ordinary people can have extra ordinary impact, one life at a time. That dream carried her through several big twists and turns, but she always saw the beauty of God working in mysterious ways. </p>
<p>Riley’s focus turned to helping Kenyan orphans after she was diagnosed at 16 with a rare condition that left her unable to have biological children. She saw that even though she was not<br />
-more-</p>
<p>able to have her own children, God had put hundreds of Kenyan children in her life to love and take care of. </p>
<p>Today, Riley is 19, and works full-time for her ministry and can be found at Riley’s Treasures, Generation Next’s thrift store and food pantry in Branson, when she is not in Kenya. Generation Next opened a school in Kibwezi, Kenya and in January bought a 7000 square foot building with five acres to use for a community center. They will teach women to sew, provide a feeding program, a safe house for kids and a sports complex for the kids to play on as well as farming. She and her new husband Graham plan to live part time in Kenya when Graham is finished with college. They will make their home at the community center, to oversee the day to day operations.</p>
<p>Riley Banks is the founder and executive director of Generation Next, a non-profit she established at the age of 14. Generation Next has built and oversees a school in Kibwezi, Kenya, and runs a thrift shop and food pantry in Branson, Missouri, to fund operations.  Riley’s heart is for Africa and for reminding every young person that they can do more to change the world than they could ever imagine.   She lives in Branson, MO with her husband Graham. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/bahayaurora.jpeg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-10566" src="http://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/bahayaurora-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>I am a 17-year-old high school student in New Jersey, and I have become involved with a remarkable organization, Bahay Aurora House. During a trip to Asia, my father had introduced me to one of his acquaintances, Herke Smidstra, a Dutch businessman living in the Philippines who has dedicated his life to improving the lives and education of impoverished children in the Philippines.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Through his own initiative and hard work, Herke and his Filipino wife Arleen Smidstra-Santiago, built an orphanage called Bahay Aurora in Baras, Philippines, currently housing 45 children who would otherwise be living in the street.  Herke, Arleen and a small staff, take in poverty-stricken orphaned children, provide them with shelter and proper nutrition, and mend their emotional wounds. The children are taught the essentials of life, from personal hygiene and exercise to manners and morals.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Bahay Aurora also feeds and helps educate hundreds of other children in the region who are in great need.  For nearly 20 years, Herke has tirelessly set out on his mission to help street children in the Philippines.  Unwanted children are often left at Bahay Aurora.  Others are found by Herke living on decaying garbage dumps where they forage for food or something to sell.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Seeing the need around him, Herke’s dedication to the issue of poverty and education is awe-inspiring. One of the issues Herke is striving to tackle is the quality of education, along with improving conditions for students with mental disabilities. Little to no support is given to children with special needs, so Bahay Aurora offers educational courses for mentally disabled children who are often rejected from the regular schooling system.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Herke and Arleen’s selflessness is inspiring. Herke has said that the hardest part has been living separated for long periods from his own children, now grown and residing in the Netherlands. They started this project commuting back and forth, but have lived full-time in the Philippines for the past seven years. Their intention is to create hope for a better future for more of the impoverished children of the Philippines.
