The wheels on the BUS...
Donation protected
***UPDATE ***
We are blessed that many continue in conversation and relationship, "what now?" “HOW CAN WE GET INVOLVED?”
THE IMMEDIATE NEED: TRANSPORTATION - A vehicle has come available, we have inspected at length that would be PERFECT for us and the area we will be working, the capacity of people it seats, along with the capacity to transport items to the cite roughly 41 km from the center of TOWN is a huge bonus. It would also allow us more freedom and take away many frustrations, allowing us to get more done on a daily basis. The freedom to go from place to place and not get stuck in many of the BUS traffic jams that use up precious time, sometimes 4 hours one way when it should have taken 1.5 hours.
HOWEVER, We need to raise these funds QUICKLY, and are hopeful to raise $12,000 by March 4th, and the remainder by April 1, 2016.
PLEASE consider a possible charitable donation. Our WELCOME tax id number is 46-5672274 and receipts can be generated upon request.
We are so grateful for those that helped us reach the accomplished goals listed below, and the many that assisted before we even started using this forum! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Please, visit out our website often, share with others at www.welcome-tongasoa.org. Nicolerauch.blogger.com, welcome-tongasoa on facebook.
Together, we can make a difference in the lives of women, children, and families in Madagascar. Thank you for your donation!

**June and July 2015 you again helped raise the funds to ship this container from CA to Madagascar!
**October 2015 funds arrived to assist with getting the container out of the port and delivered onto dry land!

ABOUT us and our Dreams and GOALS
In May of 2014, I started a NON-profit registered in Colorado, U.S.A. by the name of WELCOME to help women and children INTERNATIONALLY and first in Madagascar. My name is Nicole Rauch and I am the founder and President of this amazing ministry!
Did you know that prostitution is legal here at the age of 18? Did you know that at the early age of 7 many young children are forced by their parents into sex with older adults to earn funds for the family? There are many young mothers by the age of 14!!! Marriage in remote areas has happened as early as 14 even though the legal age has been raised to 18. Madagascar is a third world country and these current conditions are horrific!
I have chosen to make Madagascar my home. In 2014, I married Narindra (a National), and together we have committed our lives to helping women and children who are most at risk for joining into the many different types of sex/slavery trades.
We’ve built a house that we have donated to the Welcome ministry and already have a couple of people living with us, whom we are teaching to live off the land.
Our goals are to plan to teach English, farming, breeding of animals in sanitary situations, and many domestic jobs, like cooking and cleaning, driving in the hopes that each person will attain knowledge that will allow them to be confident in applying for jobs.
If you are able to donate then please do so through this link. We appreciate your joining in this journey with us!
GOD BLESS YOU!
