Stepping Together, Inc, will bring a team of health professionals once again to Haiti. The team will be hosted by Grace International Ministries and will work at Grace Village.

Grace Village is a 4-acre compound where 25,000+ Haitians have been living since the devastating 12 January 2010 earthquake. Grace Village is a developing city and Grace International Ministries provides daily delivery of clean water, bathroom & laundry facilities, security, education and training.

Stepping Together has adopted Grace Village and is committed to providing long-term support. We humbly thank our partners, Medicine In Action, and The Aaron & Margaret Wallace Foundation as well as the National Conference of Mayors, World Conference of Mayors and a host of other supporters. We stand firm in our commitment to assisting our neighbor, Haiti, emerge from these recent overwhelming challenges.

The country continues to battle cholera. Aid is still needed. Let’s hope the Haitians are able to vote without difficulty.

We just successfully hosted our first Tea Social to re-launch our Domestic Violence Awareness project. Our project was renamed in honor of a young Bay Area victim of domestic violence. While Domestic Violence Awareness Month has come to a close our work continues.

The Ayesha Project (TAP) Committed to raising awareness, and improving the education, referral and support for all victims of domestic violence be they women, girls, men, boys, children, or the elderly. This is a disease that affects all members of our community no matter what color, faith, economic status, geographic location, family status, etc…. So we all need to be concerned. We encourage your comments and suggestions.

Peace and blessings to all.

Domestic Violence Awareness Month

steptog — Sat, 02 Oct 2010 18:52:07 +0000

We are proud to announce the re-launch of our project on domestic violence during this month. While we we very active in this area in the early 1990′s we stepped away because others were taking on this challenge. Now in the 2010 we find it necessary to relaunch our project as the recession has affected all of us who continue to work to address this community problem.

No community has remained untouched by this problem. It will take all of us to make a difference. We stand ready to continue the work on this pressing community concern.

Breakfast for Our Students

steptog — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 15:20:02 +0000

We all know breakfast is the most important meal of the day, especially for our children. An interesting article in USA Today addresses this issue and the issue of hunger in the US. We all have to be mindful of our community and it’s needs. All school meal programs should be nutritious in all communities.

Stand up for our children!

A most desperate struggle in Haiti

By William Booth

PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI — It was always hard to be old in Haiti, but after the earthquake, to be old and poor feels like a curse, say those who are both.

My Take:

We cannot forget there are people still suffering. The elderly in Haiti are being forgotten, this is shameful!. Much help is needed in Haiti now!

Actress and Muslim Philanthropist Promote Women
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — What do actress Geena Davis, Britain’s Duchess of York, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the head of the World Congress of Muslim Philanthropists have in common?.

My Take:

Helping others is what it is all about. this world is too big and too connected that those of us that have not to help those that do not.

Even the smallest act of charity can do a world of good.
