ETW Programs:

HISTORY

In 2007, Encouraging the World originated in the mind of its founder during a mountain hike in Cyprus. Since its conception, Encouraging the World (ETW) has worked in orphanages, juvenile homes, schools, and churches throughout the world.

ETW began in Bethlehem working with the Al-Harah Theater Group and Contacting the World. ETW choreographed and co-directed Facehook?!, currently touring the Middle East and Europe. This work aims to communicate the lives and struggles of Arab youth through music, dance, and drama.

ETW has launched several projects in the Philippines to serve orphan and juvenile communities, recruiting 50 volunteers from Thailand, Baltimore, Holland, and the Philippines. These projects included tree plantings, clothing drives, hosting a “Nutrition Month” for an elementary school, and feeding an indigenous community of 600 children and families.

In 2013, ETW was incorporated in Baltimore, Maryland and founded with a vision to offer youth volunteer community revitalization projects, awareness of global competence, international excursions, mentoring, youth leadership and conflict resolution programming.

In 2014, ETW Baltimore Youth served The Children's Light Ministries Orphanage and facilitated programming to support the build their home extension, hosted a youth sexual education workshop, and taught English to children 5 - 18 years old. ETW Baltimore Youth were empowered by facilitating and sharpening their leadership skills.

Encouraging the World was presented with:

2013 BMe Leadership Award

2014 Ambassador of Peace by the Universal Peace Federation

The Center of HOPE worldwide-Laguna - ETW Volunteers in August.

We will volunteer at the Center below in August!

The Center of HOPE worldwide-Laguna, is a treatment center for abused children in the Philippines, specializing in child sexual and physical abuse cases primarily. The center offers short-term and long-term residential care, treatment and placement meeting the holistic needs of each child.

Residential care is primarily conducted through a total family approach wherein each child is given a father and mother (house parents) and brothers and sisters structure. The treatment of each child is being handled by a multi-disciplinary case management team, offering a wide range of skills, including psychological and psychiatric assessment.

The Center of HOPE worldwide-Laguna, has a goal to see an abused child and their families become whole again in which they have attained social functioning in an environment where they interact constructively, have developed a sense of hope and that encourages the child and their families to succeed.

The community-based Centers of HOPE worldwide addresses problems such as child sexual abuse, children on the streets and child neglect. The Centers acts as a safe-harbor for children where trained full-time staffs gain access to at-risk children.

We have our budget set for the feeding program at the Libi Elementary School after I did a presentation at the Hope Worldwide conference a few weeks ago. We are planning to feed about 600 students.
