About us - Who we are

源起：
二零零二年，我們走訪中國偏遠地區的同胞，目睹許多家庭非常貧困，經濟上顯著的需要關懷和幫助。在聽到很多因籌不出學雜費而被迫輟學的故事，我們心中有說不出的感嘆。回美後，將心中的感動與北美的華人分享，許多海外華人率先響應，資助了 245位少數民族貧困學童就學。後我們見到除了資助貧困兒童就學外，尚有其它方面的需求。為了能有計劃的幫助那裏的人，並提供海外的專業人士或非專業人士能有參與服務的機會，逐於二零零三年十月登記成立傳仁基金會，簡稱「傳仁」，並在二零零四年十月經加州政府核准為一非牟利組織。

自「傳仁」成立以來，我們不單看見許多有心向學的貧困學生得以繼續就學，身體、靈魂受傷的得到全人的醫治，同時我們也見到海外許多人找到他們可以參與投入的管道。透過他們的專業，使偏遠地區的居民，在謀生的技能上，在生活的環境上，在全人的發展上，都得到極大的改善。因此，除了美國外，各地區如：加拿大、香港、新加坡 ‧‧‧也紛紛響應。加拿大地區已於二零零六年四月得到其政府獲准為一非牟利組織，成為「傳仁」在加國的分會。

宗旨：
不單是扶貧，而且也協助發展。我們願意本著愛，激發物質及精神貧乏地區居民的潛能，並教導他們如何利用現有的資源，來發展他們的社區，使其成為一自立、自養、自足，身心靈全人健康的社區。

BACKGROUND

In 2002, during a visit to some underdeveloped areas in China, we witnessed many families living in poverty, urgently in need of physical care and financial assistance. When we learned that many children of these families had to quit school for lack of money, our hearts were filled with an unutterable sorrow.

After returned from China, I have shared my heart with people in North America, many of them responded rapidly by supported 245 disadvantaged children to go to school. Later, we realized that these poor families also needed tangible support in other aspects of life as well.

In an attempt to serve more effectively, an organizational infrastructure was needed to channel the service of overseas Chinese professionals and other personnel. This led to the Go and Love Foundation being established in October 2003 as a non-profit organization registered in the State of California. Since then, through our works, we have seen children become motivated to study and go on to continue their education; we have also seen the physically and spiritually wounded receive holistic healing.

The Go and Love Foundation has also provided a means for many overseas’ Chinese to find a channel to participate and serve in our projects. Using their professional expertise, these Chinese professions have changing the lives of those minority people through skill training, living environment improvement and holistic development. Besides the United States, these professionals also come from Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, and other countries to join us in our projects.

In April 2006, to facilitate the expansion of our works, a branch of Go and Love Foundation was established and approved by the Canadian government as a non-profit organization.

PURPOSE

The purpose of the Foundation, in addition to financial provision, is to help develop the untapped human and economic resources in areas populated by people who are both materially and spiritually deprived. With the love as our foundational motivating force, we want to empower them to use the resources that they possess to develop their community, so that their community can be transformed to become an independent, self-sufficient and holistically healthy community – in body, mind, and spirit.
