      <image:caption>“Thank you for your presence and for all of the joy you bring to us,” says one of the kids. We’re so grateful for all of the memories our Avenir Project family is making for these kids, and for all of the face-to-face quality time with the EMSF staff our Avenir Project family is making possible for us—for the sake of the sustainability of EMSF’s Le Prince Orphanage.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Pocahontas, Disney, 1995. This line is poignant and feels true of colonists, and as a child (and still as an adult) I adored the beauty and adventure of this film. Nevertheless, this Disney retelling of the story of Pocahontas entertains a host of problematic representations that paint over the painful realities of colonization in the Americas, especially regarding the life of Pocahontas. 5</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This is Navajo Tom Torlino “as he entered the [colonial boarding] school in 1882” and “as he appeared three years later” from Souvenir of the Carlisle Indian School, 1902. Photos like this one were taken by the colonial boarding schools to propagandize their success in “civilizing” the indigenous peoples.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - We know you want orphans to feel safe, heal, &amp; thrive.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Life has been hard enough so far for them, and they deserve to have a chance at living a good life. In order for orphans to thrive, they need to feel safe and heal. This means they need good food, clean water, reliable shelter, education, and loving caregivers. The problem is when they no longer have parents to nourish and nurture them, they often suffer from poverty and all its symptoms, which makes them feel afraid, ashamed, lonely, and lost—traumatized. Like you, we believe every child should be able to feel safe, heal, and thrive, which is why we are striving to make their orphanages stable and ultimately sustainable.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - We believe no orphan should suffer from poverty.</image:title>
      <image:caption>When a child loses their parents, there are often cultural stigmas about orphans they have to face. Some cultures see them as inherently unlovable. Other cultures see them as inherently evil for surviving their parents. And they end up abandoned on the street—unloved, afraid, lost, alone. Whether they’re abandoned or else a family member (who does not have the means to care for them) tries to care for them, poverty is inevitable for these children, and all its symptoms—hunger, thirst, disease, lack of education, and even labor and sex trafficking. Give a gift today to help make their orphanage stable and ultimately sustainable so they can feel safe, heal, and thrive.</image:caption>

      <image:title>What We Do</image:title>
      <image:caption>In some orphanages, children already get to enjoy clean water, healthy food, reliable shelter, and eduction. But not all children are so lucky. Many have distended bellies from parasites. Many suffer from malnutrition and are all skin and bones. Too many must always wonder if their shelter will be taken away from them at any moment. And a lot of kids will have never stepped foot in a school before they come to an orphanage. To feel safe, children need to have clean water, healthy food, reliable shelter, and education, so this is where we start.</image:caption>

      <image:title>What We Do - We want the staff of our partner orphanages to feel prepared to do what they’ve been called to do.</image:title>
      <image:caption>So we want to gift them the education they need to empower them to feel confident, learn, and grow—and in their cultural context. We want to give the staff trainings in areas like business operations, financial literacy, and trauma. With these trainings, the staff will be even more ready to keep serving their orphans with excellence.</image:caption>
