On this site you can read about my work, hobbies and interests. The links to my favorite websites are linked to it. How the name for the site is found can you read below, as also in more detail on the "Vision for Life" page.

Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart.
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

But let me first introduce myself. I am Fred Mellink. This site is temporarily replacement of my php-fusion interactive website. Internet had advantages, but also unfortunately there are cyber criminals who hack sites. This happened to me.



From many organizations for charity there there are two I like to emphasize: Compassion and Dorcas:

Compassion en Dorcas:




For many years we sponsor a child via Dorcas:. Imagine that for the price of one night to the cinema with a popcorn you can give somebody in Africa a new future! We have seen this happen with the girl Millicent Otoo from Ghana. We have sponsored approx. 10-12 years, until she became 18 years old. Instead of staying in the circle of poverty she could now go to school. She studied computer science. Now she is 24 years old and earning money to go to university. After her we started sponsoring a boy, Tongun Gore, from Sudan. Instead of joining a jouth street gang he is now living in an orphenage house and gets clothes, food, medical care and education. Latest report about him is very positive. Because of our experiences during our trip around Brazil in january 2006 we became more involved with this country. One of the results is that we recently 'adopted' two more children, little girls in Brazil, Carina Vitoria and Keli Miranda. On the Photo Album Page you can see their photos and read some more about them. Furthermore I became remote webmaster for missionary work in the Amazones, Brazil You can visit the site, which is also Dutch-English, by clicking the banner:

Zending-Amazones

In spring 2006 we started sponsoring another two little girls, Carnia Vitoria en Keli Miranda.
On my Photo Album page you can read more about this and you can see their pictures.

But as I said again: there are so many different charity organizations, that there is no excuse to not contribute to one of those. I like to invite you to watch my
Favorite Links Page.

If you like to help me to spend more time and money into this kind of voluntary work (which costs electricity, PC, hosting fee, etc.) then I like to invite you humbly to make a donation.





THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ANY SUPPORT...
for a Better World that starts with us ALL!
