PR CONSULTANT | AUTHOR | FOUNDER - This week our guest is SYLVIA ALLEN. In 2003, Sylvia

Allen founded Sylvia's Children. This is a non-profit organization with the mission of feeding, clothing,

educating and providing shelter for children in a small village in the African country of Uganda. These

children were left orphaned due to losing one or both parents in the AIDS pandemic. Sylvia has constructed a

fresh well, dedicated a library stocked with books, built four classroom blocks and a dormitory for house the

students and teachers, and installed computers w/ Internet access. She's also brought a nurse and is

providing a dentist to cure ailments such as umbilical hernias and syphilis. So far she's been able to

sponsor over 200 of the school's orphans, which equates to one-third of the 1,000 students at the school.

Sylvia is an accomplished author, speaker, and business owner (for 30+ years), and has won over 50 awards.

She's known globally as a sales guru, and her company, Allen Consulting, is recognized as a cornerstone in

the reinvention of many of New Jersey's downtown businesses.
