Bridge To Cross is committed to bring hope to those who need it most; orphans and vulnerable children of Southern Africa. As the staggering number of children becoming orphaned is on the rise, mostly as a result of AIDS, we are seeking to change the course by establishing Youth Centers in South African townships, under the guidance of the Boys and Girls Clubs of America.

Our mission is to bring hope by connecting people, and there is no better time than Thanksgiving and Christmas to "connect" you to six South African orphaned children through our Christmas in Mamelodi, Africa music CD.

These inspiring songs were recently recorded in South Africa, together with Mirka; a South African recording artist. By making them available to you for download from our site, we are asking you to consider partnering with us to turn South Africa's at-risk children into at-hope youth. With the upcoming 2010 FIFA World Cup Soccer in South Africa, the proceeds will be used to help establish a youth soccer league and the first Youth Center in the township of Mamelodi, Southern Africa. Click here to make a secure tax-deductible donation and return to download the CD or selected songs. For a suggested minimum donation of $20, we will be happy to mail you the CD. Using the secure online donation form, at the Project Allocation line, add the letters CD with your donation to receive your copy before Christmas.  Thank you for your generous support.
