Program accomplishments

  • 1st Program - Operating expense for the George Super Kitchen (GSK) in South Africa The kitchen continues to serve daily between 800-900 warm meals to children in the 3-6-year-old age group.

  • 2nd Program - Securing farm worker jobs for those in need Self-sustainability of programs, and enabling people to be financially self-sustainable themselves, is a cornerstone principle of Cargo of Dreams (CoD). CoD, through their "Workforce Recruitment" (WFR) initiative, has secured 80-100 farm worker positions in various states across the USA. Farm labor is an officially recognized shortage by the Department of Labor. WFR assisted USA farmers to obtain relevant government approvals to employ foreign seasonal farm workers and, at the same time, coordinated the recruitment of finding willing, able, and suitable candidates for the farmers.0
  • 3rd Program - Tax compliance of non-immigrant seasonal workers Cargo of Dreams (CoD), through their "TCUS" initiative, and with the support of key industry leaders, supported foreign non-immigrant seasonal workers from South Africa to ensure they are tax compliant in the USA, as well as in their home country. An estimated 150 people received guidance and support.0
  • 4th Program - Double Decker Bus Cargo of Dreams (CoD) continued with the remodeling of an old double-decker bus that is intended to serve as a platform to offer various outreach initiatives, and to act as a "safe place" known by the children in the community it serves. A place where children can get something to eat or snack on, and speak to someone who can support them as needed.0
