How to Help > Make a tax-deductible donation

I would like to make a tax-deductible donation to ISHK.

Please apply my contributions as follows:

ISHK GENERAL FUND supports all our programs, and ISHK will use the funds where most needed.

Afghan Disaster Relief Special Fund
The deep freeze this winter in Afghanistan has caused a great humanitarian disaster with over 1000 dead, hundreds and hundreds having their feet and hands amputated because of frostbite. ISHK has an opportunity to provide special funds to help with this disaster. [click here for more information]

Children's Literacy Project
An alarming number of children enter school without the language and literacy foundation they need to succeed — a situation with profound implications for their lives and for society. The good news is that almost all children can greatly increase their reading through early intervention programs. To date, ISHK has donated more than 55,000 books to early childhood literacy programs and we need to do more. Your contribution will go a long way to help.

We are looking for literacy programs interested in receiving our book donations and companies and other funding sources to help with the costs of printing and distribution. Email us at hoopoekids AT aolcom.

Hoopoe Books
Traditional Teaching-Stories of Central Asia, Afghanistan and the Middle East have been shown to activate the context-forming parts of the brain and help develop tolerance and more flexible thinking. Through our Hoopoe Books publishing project, we have now published a series of eight books with versions of these stories for children by Idries Shah. The beautiful illustrations feature authentic details of the art, architecture and dress of the region, providing much-needed positive images from these traditional cultures. The series has garnered many positive reviews, awards and distinctions. Three more titles are in the works for publication as our funds allow.

Books for Afghanistan Program
Since we have received official permission from Afghanistan’s Minister of Education in Kabul authorizing us to provide Hoopoe books and complementary teaching materials to schools and children in Afghanistan, this fund will help with the translations and development of these books, as well as help with the printing, shipping and distribution to children inside Afghanistan.

All About Me: Human nature series for children ages 10-14.
We need to understand more about our basic psychological makeup, how we behave in groups and how we are influenced. In the wake of tragedies like Columbine, developmental psychologists have found that such an understanding is important for very young children. With the National Urban Alliance for Effective Education (NUA) and the American Psychological Association (APA), we are exploring an exciting new program to make learning about human nature a part of early education.

The Human Journey website
A new website is under development to provide information from all the fields relevant to mankind's journey from the plains of Africa to modern cultures: psychology, biology, social sciences, anthropology and neurology. Our goal is to provide information in a way all of us can use to create a better future.
