Careforce International

It’s all about caring enough to get out there and do something.

Careforce International was founded in 1994 as a tangible way to reach out to children affected by hunger, poverty and despair around the world. Jim’s vision was to partner with like-minded individuals and organizations to bring about change.

As a Christian humanitarian organization, Careforce creates opportunities for people to share their talents, energy, wisdom and wealth to help children around the world achieve their potential. Eastside Auto Service is proud to be a member of Careforce International.

The Jim Wilson Village of Hope

Opening new doors and opportunities in Burkina Faso.

The Jim Wilson Village of Hope began from compassion for orphaned and impoverished children. The Village is situated just outside Burkina Faso’s capital city of Ouagadougou. Together with dedicated local Burkinabe, numerous volunteer and church groups have worked to build this important facility. There are more than 260 children living at the Village of Hope, a place that now contains two school buildings, girl’s and boy’s dorms, staff accommodations, kitchen, playgrounds, a water well and more. Long-term goals include expansion to all grades, a vocational school, a Christian university and increased development of agricultural initiatives.

This year, Glenn Colling will be traveling to the Village of Hope in Burkina Faso and pitching in to help expand it. Please check back on this site for on-going updates and photographs of their progress.

If you would like more information, or if you would like to make a donation, please contact us. Together, we are confident our efforts will make a difference to these children.
