Dorcas Destiny International makes several trips per year to Kenya East Africa in support of the several schools there that we support. People here in the USA donate items such as shoes, small school supplies, infant and child clothing, personal and basic hygiene items, first aid supplies and such that we take with us on the trips. Donors have also given us a number of suitcases within which the items are sorted, packed, weighed, and inventoried for team members to take with them.

Volunteer groups are able to assist in the sorting, packing, weighing, and inventorying process so that when we travel, it is easy to provide a team member with a full suitcase.

A group or team can make arrangements to spend a couple of hours helping with the process either one time or over a couple of days. We are very flexible!!

Help Us Create a Welcome Home Banner for Children with Cancer.

Calling All Volunteers who desire to make a real difference in the lives of children battling cancer from anywhere at any time!

What's New: Join our Banner Project, now with virtual components, allowing you to contribute no matter where you are.

How It Works:
• Step 1: Sign up for the event here as you normally do.
• Step 2: Access our new digital coloring platform by either:
○ Copying and pasting this URL into your browser:

• Step 3: Follow the step-by-step instructions to color and submit your pages digitally.

Impact: Once you submit your artwork, it will be printed and merged with contributions from others to create a unique "Welcome Home Banner" for a child returning from cancer treatment. Your artistic contribution will help brighten a child’s room and lift their spirits as they transition from hospital to home.

Note for Returning Volunteers: We've transitioned from physical coloring kits to this digital process as this new method enhances the experience and broadens participation options.

Thank You: Your commitment to the BraveHearts Banner project brings hope and joy to children battling cancer and their families. Thank you for your dedication and creativity!

Some of our Volunteer Feedback:

Sarah D: I've been a part of the BraveHearts Banner project for a few years, but the new digital coloring process has been a game-changer. It's so easy and convenient to participate from home. Knowing that my artwork is part of a banner welcoming a brave little warrior home makes every stroke of color feel like a small act of love and support.

Mike M: As a father, I can only imagine the challenges these families face. Joining the Welcome Home Banner project has given me a way to contribute positively to their journey. The online platform is user-friendly, and it feels great to be part of a community that's spreading joy and hope to these incredible kids.

Emma W: I used to help with the banner project at my local store, but the new digital platform has made it so much more accessible. I can now contribute from anywhere, anytime. It's a beautiful feeling to know that my artwork is part of a bigger picture, bringing smiles to children returning home from their treatments.

The Johnson Family: Our whole family gets involved in coloring pages for the Welcome Home Banner. It's become a meaningful activity for us, especially for our kids, who learn about compassion and giving back. Seeing the completed banner and knowing we played a part in it is incredibly rewarding.

Linda P: I've been volunteering with BraveHearts for Kids for a while through my company's corp volunteer program, and the Banner project is by far my favorite. The transition to the digital platform has made it so much easier to participate. Each banner is a tapestry of love and support, and I'm honored to contribute to such a meaningful cause.

Family Testimonials:

Tyler's Father: "Every hand-drawn picture and message spoke directly to my Tyler's heart, reminding him of the world outside waiting for him. It's amazing how something so simple as a banner can bring so much happiness and serve as a daily reminder of the strength and courage he possesses."

Sophie's Grandfather: "When Sophie saw her personalized banner, her eyes sparkled with a mixture of surprise and delight. It was a moment of pure joy, not just for her but for all of us. The banner, adorned with messages of love and colorful drawings, became a symbol of her bravery and the overwhelming support from our community. It hangs proudly over her closet and is a constant reminder to her that her life and journey matter."

Ally's Older Sister: "I spent hours helping to color Ally's banner, focusing on every detail. Seeing her reaction, made every minute worth it. She now knows she's not alone in this fight.

Ben's Uncle: "The sound of Ben's laughter when he first saw the banner was the best sound I've heard in a long time. To know it was the kindness of strangers that made this possible humbles us all. The banner now adorns his room, a powerful message of love and strength that I believe encourages Ben daily.

Ella's Mother: "Ella's reaction to the banner was one of pure joy. She was overjoyed with the bright colors and personal touches. It's become a cherished part of her space, bringing comfort and smiles even on tough days."

Mason's Grandmother: "The banner for Mason brought a sense of celebration back into our home. It's become a beautiful reminder of the support we have, a symbol of hope that lifts our spirits every day."
