Following are a few updates
and some news concerning various ways of giving.
News/Updates
This
academic year we have been assisting several students who are currently in
school. Two of them are future medical doctors, two future veterinarians and
one nurse.
We
have been collecting funds for our Community Resource Center building project
in Tatum. We plan to resume the project as soon as the situation in the English
speaking part of Cameroon is resolved. When more funds become available then
greater progress we will be able to complete the project sooner.
Additional ways how to donate to
Educare-Africa, EIN 93-1290101, 501 (c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization
Retirement Funds
Donations
After
the age of 70 people have to use some of their retirement funds and then have
to pay taxes on it. If they donate that sum to a charity they do not have to
pay taxes on that money.
You
don’t have to show income or pay taxes on amounts withdrawn from a traditional
IRA or 401k if the amounts are transferred to a qualified charity.
Contact
the custodian of your retirement account and have them do it. You should notify
the custodian that you want to have them transfer from your retirement account
directly to the charity.

Another
way how you can support our work is through Smile: if you wish to donate to
Educare-Africa, you need to start each shopping session at the URL http://smile.amazon.com,
and they will donate 0.5% of the price of your eligible purchases.
Thank you very much on behalf of
many Cameroonians for your loving care and continuing kind and generous
support! It is appreciated tremendously.
