What is Hunger and Poverty?

What is Poverty? (Keywords )
Poverty is an acid that drips on pride until all pride is worn away. Poverty is a chisel that chips on honor until honor is worn away. Some of you say that you would do something in my situation, and maybe you would, for the first week or the first month, but for year after year after year? Continue reading

“Universal Declaration of Human Rights”

International Human Rights Day, December 10

Human rights are “commonly understood as inalienable fundamental rights to which a person is inherently entitled simply because she or he is a human being.” Human rights are thus conceived as universal (applicable everywhere) and egalitarian (the same for everyone). These rights may exist as natural rights or as legal rights, in local, regional, national, and international law. The doctrine of human rights in international practice, within international law, global and regional institutions, in the policies of states and in the activities of non-governmental organizations, has been a cornerstone of public policy around the world. The idea of human rights states, “if the public discourse of peacetime global society can be said to have a common moral language, it is that of human rights.” Despite this, the strong claims made by the doctrine of human rights continue to provoke considerable skepticism and debates about the content, nature and justifications of human rights to this day. Indeed, the question of what is meant by a “right” is itself controversial and the subject of continued philosophical debate. Continue reading

Annual Fundraising Dinner & Programs Update!

Dear Friends,

UDiON Foundation (UDiON) cordially invites you, your friends and family to our Evening Horderves Social and Programs Update Event on Saturday, April 5th 2014, from 6pm to 9pm, at the CoWork Jax on 5 West Forsyth St, Suite # 200, Jacksonville, FL. The event includes complimentary dinner and refreshments for all attendees.

UDiON is a non-profit organization serving globally since 1995. As UDiON Foundation we dedicate ourselves in helping orphans, impoverished children and abandoned kids to start new productive lives. Even though laws exist to prohibit child labor, very little is done to eliminate it, and so the deprived children are frequently denied an education. This in turn perpetuates poverty for the child and their family.  UDiON gives those kids their childhood back and helps them rise above the poverty level by providing effective education, personal health, and social awareness.

The main objective of this event is to reach out and join hands with the local community in our efforts to promote Education to Eliminate Poverty. We are reaching out to our local community to create awareness about the deprived children in developing countries and also to explore the following questions collectively as a team:

Developing Countries – Why it matters to the Western Countries?

Education – How can we help as an individual and collectively as a group?

Poverty – How can we end the cycle of poverty and the exploitation of children around the world?

We seek to strengthen the ties between UDiON and the local community. During this event, we will conduct a short presentation on the impact of our projects and programs, and we look forward to a collaborative discussion on the power of education to eliminate poverty. We will be honored by your presence and we sincerely seek your support to keep the dreams and hopes alive in the hearts and smiles of these little faces. Your presence would serve as a great inspiration to us as well as to all of the attending dignitaries and guests. UDiON will showcase some of the best ideas in this endeavor, this is a chance to submit and contribute towards a better future for those little ones in need.

The following Dignitaries have been invited

Mr. Andy Johnson, Host of 1600AM, will be the MC for the evening

Guest Speaker: Shahed Amanuallh, Director of Youth Development at the Department of State

Complementary RSVP is required for headcount and your attendance at. FaceBook:
