Visit us at The Spring Beer & Wine Fest in Portland!

We're looking forward to seeing you Friday, April 6 & Saturday, April 7, 2012 at the 18th Annual Spring Beer & Wine Fest.

World Action Foundation will be back in our booth at the fest again this year! Once again hosted by the festival's board and WAF's good friend Steve Woolard.

Each year WAF works hard to raise funds to support our plans, programs and assistance to at risk youth and young adults in Africa.  In the past we have held raffles, etc.
But, the past couple of years we have had our "Gifts For Good" booth.  We will continue this plan in 2012!  World Action Foundation will be offering some great jewelry, silk bags & purses, toys, games, CD's and some great items donated by local brewers and businesses like t-shirts, hats, growlers, pints glasses, etc! 
Some of WAF's supporters are Widmer Brothers Brewing , Hopworks Urban Brewery, Laurelwood Public House & Brewing, NW Beer Monkey, Ground Kontrol Classic Arcade, Salt & Straw Fresh Ice Cream and many others!  Please visit these folks and thank them for supporting us!

The fest is easy to get to at the Convention Center and is right on the TriMet MAX line here in Portland....We Hope to see you there!

2012 and WAF

World Action Foundation has been up and rolling even though we have not been very good about keeping up our web pages!
The end of 2011 was an odd one for WAF as we learned of another organization that had just assumed the very same name for their organization incorporated in the State of California. It doesn't seem that they are a 501(c)3 however. Just to clear the air we are in no way associated with that organization.
Now we are in 2012 and the wheels are in motion for another year.
We are still shipping books and materials to blind & deaf schools in Africa. We have also been starting our work with street girls in Ghana.
Please "Follow" our blog page and also join our Facebook page to stay in touch!

WAF Charity Booth at The Spring Beer & Wine Fest in PDX!

The World Action Foundation will be back in Booth #52 again this year at the Spring Beer & Wine Fest here in Portland, Oregon on Friday and Saturday April 22 & 23, 2011!!
The Festival is not only Beer & Wine! It also includes the "Tour de Cheese", distillers, gourmet foods, arts, interesting products, a chef's stage and great live music! 

The official web page says:
"While you're sipping on fine craft beer, wine, spirits and cocktails, do a little shopping! Our arts and craft vendors and exhibitors offer unique treasures and interesting items. Or chill out in the attached heated outdoor smoker's tent.  And don't forget: Admission is free to the first 1000 each day.

The Spring Beer & Wine Fest may be about education, but school has never been this much fun!

The Spring Beer & Wine Fest encourages responsible consumption. Minors accompanied by an adult are permitted until 7:00pm each day. Children 12 & under are free."


The festival is held at the Oregon Convention Center and can be reached by TriMet with a MAX stop right in front on the center!
