NLF has four main departments:
1. Fountain of Hope (Christian School)
2. Fountain of Joy (Vocational Training)
3. Fountain of Love (Outreach and Leadership Training)
4. Fountain of Zoë (Loving care for babies)
Fountain of Hope
Fountain of Hope is a Christian elementary 24/7 boarding school. It offers a home like atmosphere to primarily orphans, as well as children from very poor families and difficult circumstances. Due to extreme poverty, most of the children at NLF are not even able to afford public schooling. Your support can change this and offer them a chance to get ahead.
Fountain of Joy
This is the vocational training center for teen mothers and at risk girls from very poor families. Some are literally saved from life threatening situations. The participants are not able to afford the cost of the necessary assistance or further studies due to poverty and difficult circumstances. Throughout the course of their time at the Fountain of Joy, the participants learn embroidery, tailoring, home economics, hotel management, business administration, and other practical life skills all in a Christian setting. We hope to soon expand the training to be able to send our graduated girls and boys back to their villages to solve many of the daily problems that are keeping their families and neighbors stuck in poverty. This could include clean water management, basic medical care, agriculture optimization, disease control/eradication, road development and erosion control, to name a few.
Fountain of Love
This is the outreach and training center for Christian leaders of children and church ministers. Our graduates are trained in evangelism to reach people in towns and the most remote villages. We run camps, seminars, children's crusades, Bible clubs, and many other children's ministries. We also go to public primary and secondary schools to teach the Word of God, as well as teaching health education and raising awareness of HIV/AIDS and other diseases. We provide home-based healthcare for HIV/AIDS patients.
Fountain of Zoë
This is a home where we care for abandoned babies and orphans from day one of their lives. We also care for babies who are HIV/AIDS positive by offering them care, love, prayer, and good nutrition to give them the best hope for survival

How do you get a constantly red nose and rosey cheeks as part of your appearance?
make-up
OopsThe question poster may have been asking how to "get rid of" those features. The original wording was "How do you get of constantly red noses and rosy cheeks as a part of your appearance?" It appears that the word rid was accidentally omitted.If you want constantly a red nose and rosy cheeks, make-up (blusher) would be 1 option, but pinching the cheeks can help give a healthy look. Although, it does not last as long. Eating spicy foods a lot such as Currey may help, but, tinted vaseline always does the trick. The only problem is you have to keep re-applying the substance throughout the day. But, as a matter of fact, when you exercise, if you are working your body hard enough, you cheeks and nose may turn red for a while. For some people, their whole entire face turns red or they sweat or they come up in 'blotches'. the redness doesn't last very long. Also, when your face is fairly cold, and in open cold air, your nose and cheeks may turn red.
...
If you are looking to get RID of red cheeks, you could try a special make-up concealer stick which is green (but comes out clear), which reduces redness. If it is to do with acne/spots, foundation or concealer could help, while using a facial wash or exfoliating face scrub every evening, along with a moisturizer (if needed) and spot cream. But foundation and concealer doesn't necessarily have to be used for spots.
But, as a matter of fact, if you are female, rosy cheeks is meant to be considered attractive-looking, or sweet-looking. That's what blusher is for.

In what way are rich communities can help poor communities?
Rich people often have an important involvement in large companies. These large companies then employ most of the population. Cashiers at a grocery store are typically not rich people. However, the people who run the company they work for (wal-mart, cub foods, target, etc..) are usually wealthy.
When rich people buy a new car, yacht, house, etc... they help employ the people who build them, mechanics, oil companies, people who work at gas stations, the list goes on.
Rich people help employ the middle/lower class.

Did Florence Nightingale founded the red cross?
no. She was praised and given credit, but she is not the founder. On a visit to London in 1872, Henry Dunant said: "Though I am known as the founder of the Red Cross and the originator of the Convention of Geneva, it is to an English woman that all the honour of that convention is due. What inspired me to go to Italy during the war of 1859 was the work of Miss Florence Nightingale in the Crimea."

Do people take advantage of food banks?
It is true that some people use food banks even when they can afford to feed themselves. But, the line between the "haves" and the "have nots" becomes more and more blurred everyday. Add to this the fact that most people can follow directions on a box, but they don't know how to really cook.
