Jack, the oldest of the Taubl boys, went to Swaziland in 2008 and came back with an ache in his heart for the children there.  Heart for Africa is an organization with a plan to help these children, and you can help them.

Startling statistics:

Population of Swaziland: approx. 950,000

Percent infected with HIV virus: 56%

Number of orphans and vulnerable children: 200,000+

Number of orphans heading households: 15,000+

What can you do?

1. There is an overwhelming need for blankets in Swaziland and we are partnering with Heart for Africa and their goal to provide 15,000 blankets by July, 2010. Please visit the Heart for Africa website, or contact The Taubl Family directly to find out how you can donate a blanket.

2.  Do you love to knit or crochet, or know someone who does?  There is an urgent need for little beanie hats to keep this children warm, and we are looking for volunteers to help make them.  Click here for more info. 

4. Consider traveling to Swaziland. Heart for Africa organizes regular trips. 

5. Monetary donation.  The Taubl Family has been asked to travel to Swaziland in July to perform for these needy children, and they are seeking to raise the funds to do that.  If you would like to help make that possible, consider a financial gift toward that cause.
