YES WEEK!
We’re very proud of the Riverview Young Adults who put their faith into action by participating in YES WEEK! last month.Over 55 young adults signed up to raise awareness about the issue of child prostitution and to raise funds for the amazing work of Hagar Cambodia, in rehabilitating child victims of sex trafficking.
YES WEEK! is a collaborative fundraising campaign between Riverview Young Adults and the Foundation, which involved the participants raising awareness and asking people for a donation with a dare.
The idea of 'Saying YES to Saying NO to child prostitution' took off and dares included everything from wearing pyjamas to work, to guys and girls shaving their hair, singing to strangers and wearing all types of weird and wonderfuldresses for a day, it was mass embarrassment all round...all for such an important cause!
Thanks to everyone involved over $12,000 was raised as part of the fight against child trafficking!

In Ukraine, we’re partnering with the House of Life, a wonderful project that works within a state-run hospital and provides 24-hour care for babies and toddlers without parental care – because of abuse, neglect or abandonment.
The centre is equipped to provide everything necessary for the children’s physical, psychological and emotional development in an atmosphere that resembles a home as much as possible. The House of Life works with the state social services department to find longer-term care solutions for the children and to advocate on behalf of their rights.
Thanks to your support, the Foundation is able to fund the caregivers who support the children and has also recently funded a new playground.
