Spirit of Excellence, Inc.
'A Creativity Training Centre'
Too
Small to
Ignore
Children are victimized in our own city, in
the Drouillard Road area where we are located; by prostitution,
drug addicted parents, involvement in running drugs, as well as by
lack of funding, feeding, educating and protecting. Yet in a
few short years, the world's challenges will be theirs to manage!
Why are these children easy to ignore in our busy
life? They are small, and rarely cry out if overlooked - or worse,
traumatized or abused. It is vital for the future of humanity that
we make these children a priority in every area of life!
Invest
today in a life that is waiting for a better future!

Developing Potential within the Urban Community
We are asking for partners to sponsor the children and women - those who will
join with us to strengthen, provide and support the daily activities here in
Windsor. Monthly supporters will be sowing seed into good ground -
bringing forth a great harvest - saving a generation and training up young
people to have the "Spirit of Excellence". Daniel 6:3
