Possibilities
International exists to help fulfill the simple dreams of the hurting,
helpless and hopeless by raising up a nation of everyday
philanthropists. We are a Canadian Registered Charity (#84378 4364
RR0001) based in Kitchener, Ontario
Sam Welten, the Executive Director, resides in Kitchener and founded P.I. back in the fall of 2005.
At this time, we have a work force of 30 field personnel ("Dream
Agents") who live on-location, full-time in one of the 9 countries we
are currently involved in. (Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, Guatemala, Ghana, Mexico, El Salvador, Canada)
Several times a year, we provide opportunities for people to join us
on humanitarian aid trips, which our dream agents host in their
particular location of the world. We often engage in building projects,
maintenance programs and shopping trips for orphans. Details and
applications can be found on the "trips" tab of this website.
It is our vision to do everything we can to help everyone connect with
the hurting, helpless and hopeless children, and elderly, in different
parts of the world. In addition, we believe that everyone can become a philanthropist.
We are working toward raising up a nation of "Everyday Philanthropists" in 2 ways...
#1 By enlisting an army of "iam1ru" monthly sponsors who, by
their daily act of philanthropy (pledge of $30/month) will enable us to
continue to deploy our Dream Agents on a daily basis in different parts
of the world to personally fulfill those simple dreams of the hurting,
helpless and hopeless that they come in contact with every day.
#2 By having Everyday Philanthropists from all over the planet visit our "dream machine" (iam1ru website - DREAMS) and sponsor a dream for us to fulfill.
As that "nation" is raised, we can expand and reach even more of the
world's hurting, helpless and hopeless with gifts of generosity, hope
and dignity.
We strive to connect "us" to "them". And at that point... we let generosity take over.
Nine year old Jackson Bursey, (the son of our Dream Agents in Mexico), explains it perfectly...
