How Earth Child is Funded
Bariloche Argentina
THE  EARTH CHILD
FOUNDATION
We are in the last stage of  completing our IRS.  Non-Profit 501(c)(3) tax deduction
Organization. It is the Earth Child Foundation.
The Foundation is not affiliated with any governments, or any religious organizations.  It
will be partially funded by donations, which are tax deductible, Grants and our own
contributions. Though we are spiritual beings and we live our spirituality and faith every
moment, we have found that organized religious and political groups are very limiting and
restricting on how time and funding is used.

Earth Child Foundation was established for helping others, in Third World Countries
Mainly in South and Central America.
Our purpose of  E.C.F., is to give to children and their families of third world countries. The
opportunity of health and education which we hope will enhance their lives. To teach what
we have learned and to learn their ways customs and way of life, and integrate both
worlds to make one.
We will acquire land to build on or buildings for health clinics and Schools, and staff them.
We have dedicating our lives, to give those that want what we have to offer, in the form
of Medicine, education and agriculture.
We have lived and continue to live very simple lives. Our personal means of income is small,
and yet it will suffice. Any earned income is given to The Earth Child Foundation, for that is
our dream and life, out side of family.
Our earned income comes from our talents, that we both have. We use our expressions in,
art, music and public speaking. Gil plays music at local establishments and Melanie displays
her work, at those establishments and other places where ever they are, money is given in
the forms of tips and the purchase of Melanie’s art and CDs that have been made. All the
proceeds are tax deductible. An up date will be provided of the Locations were they will be.

With music, the children we meet are asked for their help in the way of songs and lyrics,
which they write. The melodies are added and put on CDs.  Children’s books are written
and illustrated By Melanie Parker. Some books have music ( in the form of CDs in the back
of the book) and played and sung along with the children listening. All these books are
hand bound by Melanie and Gil and other volunteers. Credits for help and the children that
contributed there songs or lyrics will be in each book or on the CD covers.

Melanie Parker, The President and founder of Earth Child Foundation is an Artist, a
sculpture, Illustrator,  writer, and  works together with Gil in medicine and building. She
also is an Educator, Most all the Best Sole in the Universe.
