"
I shall pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do or any
kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer
or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again ." Mahatma Gandhi
Some of these donors received assistance
for their education from individuals who were not family members. Others received
scholarships and teaching assistantships from schools, colleges, universities and
charitable organizations for their education. The donors deeply appreciate the value
of the assistance they received in furthering their education and wish to help others
by donating for this cause. Together, they formed the organization called CWEF.
Today, through CWEF, these donors assist in the education of children they
may never meet in life. These friends want to assist children of needy widows to
help them break the cycle of poverty and prepare them so that they can also assist
others when they are well settled.

Members
of CWEF feel blessed to be able to help these children. They want these children
to know that there is nothing in this world that they cannot achieve if they work
hard and do their best in their studies at this time of their life.
CWEF is sure that one day these children will become important members of the society. They will have responsibilities and commitments. CWEF is confident that one of their commitments will be to help other needy widows for the education of their children and assist those mothers in need of help without expecting anything in return. All of us are His creations. We cannot see Him or perceive Him by any of our senses. However, when we help someone and do something good for others, it is at that time we realize God is guiding us and is working through us.
