About this facility

Mission: from website: The earthquake in Haiti...the tsunami in Southeast Asia...flooding in Pakistan. Each disaster brings with it the need to respond, and as Americans we respond with amazing generosity. But have you ever wondered if your generosity might actually be creating a dependence? Forward Edge International shares this concern. That’s why we specialize in Phase II disaster response work—impacting communities long after the first responders have left, and moving beyond temporary fixes. READ more at:

Share Your Passion...Host a Party for a Purpose!
http://www.forwardedge.org/opportunities/pfap.shtml

Are you passionate about rescuing vulnerable children? Are you looking for a way to do more, from home? Then a Party for a Purpose is perfect for you.

What is a Party for a Purpose? It is a casual way to get others interested and involved in a cause you are passionate about. The typical Party will take place in your home; it is an opportunity to explain a bit about the cause and Forward Edge, and to show others how they can get involved.
