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

Cirron's Tickets are purchased!



I've purchased my own tickets to General Santos, Davao and Manila, Philippines. Airfare was about $2000.oo We still need people to sponsor us. We need help with our accommodations, food, children's supplies, gifts and health kit. We have a PayPal account.
Go to encouragingtheworld@gmail.com and sponsor us there.

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. Please pray for us as it is a hike to get there. Pray for safety and that God's glory falls fresh upon the communities hearts.

This is a volunteer project. NOBODY gets paid from this project. This is All from the Heart!
