Joy of Movement Humanist Centre

I started this blog to connect to you and to share my experiences of giving and receiving in the world. My strongest experience yet has been wakening up the human spirit in Africa and creating projects that became programs of non-violence, non-discrimination and for human rights that are becoming self-sustained, thus the human being becomes free of dependence.

JOY OF MOVEMENT
HUMANIST CENTRE

Help others to build a meaningful reality and
“not even death will halt your flight.”

Over the last 4 years, we have encouraged and helped projects of non-violence, non-discrimination and for human rights developed in Zambia and Congo DRC. Many of the projects turned into programs such as humanist community schools or organized compound cleanup to fight against malaria and cholera. The goal for these programs is to become self-sustained; the people in Africa learn how and where to obtain resources necessary for program sustainability. We have found in man cases these resources can be found in their own communities and country. It requires a lot of learning to write proposals and work with the institutions; a tall order for people on the grassroots level. But, they can and are doing it they just need a bit of help.

All programs are run by volunteers.

Your donation will allow the walls to be built, one meal per day, the construction of a toilet or the rent for the school and food-storage building which will allow these two schools to reach freedom to educate and feed the children.

Shanti Community School

The Shanti Community School, in Chasanga, Zambia, built the frame for a school building and raised funds locally to put a metal sheet roof on the frame, but they have no bricks to build neither the walls nor the ability to build a toilet, both necessities to apply for government assistance. Also, the children do not have food.

Chasanga Revival School

The Chasanga Revival School in Zambia was able to work with UNICEF to get desks and one meal a day for 250 children, mainly orphans who attend the school. The school struggles to make rental payments of $50 per month for the school building and small food storage house, so they need our help until they find a donor in the country (or Africa at large) to work together.
