Announcing Heart for Africa – Taiwan
Posted by Mann Nolan | Filed under Taiwan
We are very excited to announce the launch of Heart for Africa – Taiwan. Last year, students from Taiwan traveled to Swaziland to serve with Heart for Africa along with their teacher, Mr. Lewis Lu. The team of volunteers were a welcome addition to the volunteers from the US and Canada.
After returning home, Mr. Lu and others decided that to ensure a long term commitment to serving the children of Swaziland, they should start a charity. And we are happy that they decided to partner with Heart for Africa – US in the formation of this charity. Heart for Africa – Taiwan will work on fund raising projects throughout Taiwan to help improve the lives of the people of Swaziland. This year Mr. Lu and his students will return to Swaziland for another service project. In addition to Mr. Lu’s team, traveling with Heart for Africa – US are 13 students and teachers form the Catholic Dioceses of Taichung, Taiwan.
Working alongside Heart for Africa – Canada and Heart for Africa – US, the Taiwanese team are a welcomed addition to the Heart for Africa family.

Following last year’s launch of It’s Not Okay With Me in Chinese, Heart for Africa co-founder Janine Maxwell’s newest book, Is It Okay With You, was recently released in Chinese. Janine and Ian Maxwell were in Taiwan for the launch. The revenue from the sale of the book will help fund the mission trips of Taiwanese students to serve in Swaziland. In response to the second book being made available in Chinese, Janine stated, “I’m so pleased to know that people throughout Taiwan and mainland China will have an opportunity to read the stories of so many that have decided it is not okay with them. Together with volunteers from the United States and Canada, we all can make a marked improvement in the lives of the children of Swaziland and Kenya.”
Joining Janine and Ian at the press conference for the launch was a representative from the Ministry of Education, Taiwan.
Mother’s Day Fruit
Posted by Mann Nolan | Filed under Fundraising
Fruit is a great source of life that we often take for granted. In Swaziland, a piece of fruit may be the only food a child gets for the day. With Mother’s Day just around the corner, honor your mother this year with a gift of fruit for the children of Swaziland. With your donation of $50, we will provide a large assortment of fruit to the mothers who are caring for the orphans in Swaziland.
In the areas around our partner churches, there are many children living on their own. The women of the churches work very hard each day to provide for the children. What better gift to these women than baskets of nutritious fruit to help feed the children.
This fruit will be distributed in July by our volunteers from America, Canada, and Taiwan. Be a part today with your donation of $50. Want us to send a card to your mom recognizing this wonderful gift? Be sure to complete the honor card information on the donation form. For donations of $100 or more, we will include a gift for your mom, a copy of Janine Maxwell’s new book “Is It Okay With You?”.
Thank you for your continued support of Heart for Africa and our work in Africa.
