One Ministries' Unique Learning Center
(http://www.ulcdc.org)

That's why UNIQUE Learning Center’s ministry to children in the Shaw community of
Washington, DC is so important. Through this ministry’s deliberate effort to shape
and transform young lives in the name of Jesus, hope is evident and the future looks bright.
Unique Learning Center is now registered as a cause at http://www.onecause.com,

The FOUNDATION FOR PEACE is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to education in the
United States and to working hand in hand with people in materially impoverished areas
of the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Kenya to provide educational support, healthcare access,
economic opportunity and hope. We work together as long-term partners in solidarity to
