The Charles Dushek Family have been financial and tactical supporters of the UPENDO Village of South Africa to its Leaders and Orphaned Students since 2006. UPENDO Village has a Mission to Enable the Survival and Early Education Schooling of Orphaned Children and Teens. In 2006, Marge and I were invited to attend a Fund Raising Dinner organized by one of our Rotary Club of Oakbrook IL members to learn about the hardships in South Africa, and what we could do to support orphaned children needing Food & Shelter subsistence, and Early Age Education. We met  Sr. Florence Muia, ASN, located in Wheaton Illinois, a native of Kenya...It opened our hearts and lives to learn what children in Africa badly needed.  It was likened to have adopted children....which lived on the other side of the world. We are so grateful  to have been chosen to help humanity with children, who we will never meet face to face in our lifetimes.   The Younger UPENDO Students   Pre-Teen UPENDO Students UPENDO School

Sellers can only use sterile isolated product images.   Further, all goods posted on Marketplace required us to disclose/include our product's EAN identification numbers for European-Sourced Goods, or a ISBN ( International Standard Book Number) .   When we had attained popular demand and shopper orders for our popular items on Marketplace, competing sellers highjacked our EANs to begin selling the sam
