At Hungry for Music, our mission is putting quality musical instruments into hungry hands. We serve children who demonstrate a desire to learn music, as well as teachers who have students willing to learn. In 23 years, we've delivered 10,000 instruments to children in 48 states and 20 countries. We believe that by sharing instruments and musical experiences, children who would not otherwise have the opportunity can experience a kind of freedom and self-discovery that is often stifled in an atmosphere of economic hardship.

ArtHelpsHeal is preparing to provide another 125 specialized backpacks full of stimulating and challenging art activities and supplies to long-term hospitalized teenagers. Teens are a particularly underserved hospital population. While most people enjoy donating toys and stuffed animals to younger children, teens are overlooked. Teenagers struggle with the loss of identity, socialization, freedom, and friends which are common in a hospital setting. These afflictions especially impact teens as they transit to adulthood. Recent research has demonstrated that creative art experiences add dimension to their lives and help speed their recovery. The ArtHelpsHeal curriculum is based on Illinois State Learning Standards.

To provide dynamic leadership for implementing what we see as universal values founded on fundamental Islamic values by contributing to the alleviation of poverty and securing better socio-economic life for the disadvantaged groups through empowering them to depend on themselves and participate in the decisions concerning their own problems. These values are echoed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other United Nations human rights instruments. The freedoms and responsibilities inherent in them lead directly to tolerance, pluralism, gender equality, public dialogue and non-violence to settle disputes, respect for all people regardless of differing characteristics – all part of what we call “Canadian values”.

People with disabilities are extremely limited in the range of sports and recreational activities available to them. For many, their participation in outdoor activities is limited to being a spectator, a passive onlooker. Sailing, long regarded as a symbol of freedom and independence, has been only a symbol for people without disabilities - until now. In the fall of 1994, twelve new sailors formed... the Disabled Sailing Association of Alberta (DSA Alberta) with the goal of establishing permanent sailing programs for children and adults with disabilities in Alberta. Now, after many seasons of successful operation, thousands of Albertans can say they've "Gone Sailing!" through DSA Alberta programs.
