Every year, James
Publishing gives a portion of its revenues to its private charitable
foundation. This foundation supports education and health projects for needy youth
in the
United States and less developed countries.
Partial
engineering scholarships at UC Irvine.
We collaborated with UCI's Department of Engineering to identify
high-achieving engineering students with substantial financial need. We
provided six of those students with scholarships ranging from $2,000 to $8,000 per
year. This gap funding helped students reduce their borrowings and focus on
research and academics.
Community
college scholarships.
We provide three local community college students with mentoring, community
college tuition, fees and books for one year.
Homes and support for street kids
in the Phillipines.
We are teaming
up with
Arms of Love
to build additional homes and take in more orphaned, abandoned, and abused
children in developing countries. Our first steps are to finish and furnish
a home in
Bohol, Phillipines and sponsor one child. Next we hope to build a home
in Brazil or Nicaragua and support some children there.
The children to the
right are residents of one of the homes in Bohol, one of the poorest and
most underdeveloped areas of the Philippines archipelago.
Full
college scholarships in California.
We
paid for tuition, books, and living expenses, and guidance to five inner-city students who were accepted to good
universities, but could not afford to attend. Our scholarship recipients
attended UC Santa Barbara, Cal State Long Beach, Cal State Los Angeles, and
UC Irvine.
We
also found sponsors for six additional needy scholars. Thanks to generous
providers of full scholarships, these students attended UC Berkeley, USC,
Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Cal State Los Angeles, and Cal Poly Pomona.
Clean water in Indonesia.
We provided money for the
Sumba Foundation
to dig water wells and lay water pipe for the village of Paholo on the
island of Sumba. Our well and pipe provide clean water for 145 students and
800 villagers.
A clean water source
is important during the Indonesian monsoon months of December–March. The
springs become polluted with runoff, causing dangerous outbreaks of diarrhea
that kill many young children. Our wells will eliminate this cause of death.
New
elementary school in
Afghanistan.
We provided the startup money and most of the
first several years' budget for the Helping Hands School in Kabul.
Helping Hands began as an elementary and trade school for orphans and
widows, and at its peak educated and fed over 200 students.
