Under the Same Moon is the American fund-raising arm of Asociación Bendición de Dios - a nondenominational, nonprofit school and community development organization in San Juan Alotenango, Guatemala. The school, Bendición de Dios, educates about 500 children, most of whom otherwise would not be able to afford the $250 in annual costs for the "public" school. The Asociación aims to raise community living standards so that children come to school healthy and well-rested. Under the Same Moon supports the Asociación Bendición de Dios by collecting donations and selling handcrafted items made by Guatemalan indigenous artisans and locally sourced, fair trade Guatemalan coffee, Dean's Beans. Under the Same Moon works directly with the artisans or artisans' cooperatives to follow fair trade principles and practices. The purchases provide opportunities for greatly improved earnings for the artisans, leading to a more stable economic well-being.

Global Samaritans is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to showing God's love by enhancing the physical and spiritual well being of the people in Southern Zambia. Global Samaritans includes a children's home located just outside of Livingstone, Zambia. From its base at the children's home, Global Samaritans also operates two commercial well drilling rigs where clean water is provided to villages that do not currently have access to clean water. When visiting a village to drill a well our organization always takes the opportunity to share the Good News of the gospel and minister to the villagers spiritually. Our organization can best be summed up through its four purposes: (1) To raise mature, productive, Christian children who will mold and shape the future of Zambia. (2) To assist the local churches and pastors through continuing education, library resources, and evangelism tools, and their churches with evangelism and discipleship. (3) To provide an opportunity for Americans to serve and be intimately involved in life changing foreign mission experiences. (4) To bring clean water to Zambia and improve the standard of living in communities where Global Samaritans is already at work.

The wisest policies are designed synergistically to solve multiple problems through a single effort, thus delivering the proverbial “two birds with one stone.” This strategy goes further by simultaneously saving our forests, protecting lives and property from catastrophic forest fires, and combatting Climate Change - all by providing thousands a pathway to higher education. The solution to catastrophic forest fires lies in decreasing the massive volume of dead wood that has accumulated on the forest floor because of our flawed fire policies of the past century. This will be rigorous labor-intensive work that requires a large workforce. And that provides us an opportunity to address one of our most vexing, long-term social and economic challenges: the exorbitant cost of higher education. It stunts economic opportunity for millions of young adults, too often dooming them to life of dependency on government social programs that cost taxpayers billions. Higher education is essential for economic opportunity and restoring American competitiveness in the world. Those without it are often doomed to a life of stunted opportunities, limited earning potential, and dependency on social services that cost taxpayers billions. We can enhance America’s human capital and competitiveness by providing scholarships in exchange for public service restoring our forests.

Collateral Repair Project (CRP) was started in 2006 by two American women who worked hard to stop the US invasion of Iraq and grieved over the loss of innocent lives in their name. They wanted to establish an organization that allowed for a direct connection between citizens of coalition countries and innocent Iraqis who suffered from the consequences of war. They decided to set up Collateral Repair Project in Amman, Jordan, where many refugees were relocating. Much of CRP's early work was charity related, but as the organization grew it ran numerous programs focusing on community building, education and emergency aid. Activities have greatly expanded over the years and CRP now serves Jordanians as well as Iraqis and other nationals fleeing their countries' violence, particularly Syrians who are part of the huge refugee influx into Jordan. Our programs seek to restore dignity and community among displaced urban refugees as well as to ensure that their basic food and housing needs are met. CRP provides emergency assistance to hundreds of families through, in-kind aid, information and referral services, and a monthly food voucher program that provides eligible households with coupons to purchase fresh produce and groceries. CRP's Family Resource and Community Center offers many activities and learning opportunities to allow refugees to begin to re-build the communities they lost after fleeing their home countries. CRP's strengths include a wealth of knowledge about the refugee community in East Amman and strong relationships with the beneficiaries we serve. The community center is a place where many refugees, prohibited by Jordanian law from working, spend their days. Because of this, CRP has cultivated strong grassroots support from beneficiaries, many of whom go on to become volunteers, helping to assist their neighbors to access programs and services. CRP is located in Hashemi Shamali in East Amman. It is a registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit organization in the United States of America, and registered as an international organization with the Ministry of Social Development in Jordan.
