The Alabaster Gates Children’s Charity is a Canadian charity that was founded in 2010.
The vision of Alabaster Gates Children’s Charity is founded to establish cultural liaison between Canadian Students and other countries students.
The charity’s mission is education educate children beyond their limitations.
The charity’s initiatives are executed through:
- Alabaster Gate Children’s Charity (AGCC) provides cultural programming liaison between Canadian students and their peers around the world. This foundation establishes building cultural awareness amongst children of African Descent and other cultures. Teaching Canadian children of African Descent of their cultural heritage, and opening their experience to other cultures. This is done by teaching them to embrace the similarities of other cultures and respecting their differences. The cultural awareness training allows them to thrive, be successful in their education, and their everyday life; and embrace the values, dreams, and aspirations in this rich and diverse country that is their home.
- All scheduled activities are completed in Canada. The students benefiting from AGCC are Canadian Students, specifically Students of African, Caribbean, and other Immigrants Students. The Students will be tutelaged in ancestral heritage, pride as Canadians, and pride in their joint heritage through our programming and such will establish the foundation of alliances to cultural awakening.
- The AGCC is committed to helping children grow and thrive in their native country of Canada. The charity’s goal as an organization is to institute exchange programs with schools from various countries, for example, Jamaica. In participation, the Jamaican students will establish alliances with Canada, and bring students from Jamaica to Canada for a semester. It allows the Canadian students of Jamaican Heritage to learn of their heritage, and provide Jamaican students with the opportunity to learn about Canadian cultures and values.
