Vivian Glyck

Show Description:
Vivian Glyck just returned from visiting lifesaving dental and medical clinics and schools she established in Uganda, East Africa. Now the humanitarian mom plans to host an “African Thanksgiving” to benefit her Just Like My Child Foundation (http://www.JustLikeMyChild.org). The benefit will be held Nov. 19 at the world-renowned home of John and Maria Assaraf (featured in the hit movie, "The Secret") in Rancho Santa Fe, CA (an exclusive community in San Diego). It will feature remarks by author, speaker and global visionary Deepak Chopra as well as African music, dance and fine dining for 250 guests. The African Thanksgiving celebrates Just Like My Child Foundation’s third year of saving lives and empowering women and children in a community of 600,000 people and 48 villages in central Uganda. Vivian started Just Like My Child because she was eager to make a difference in the lives of other mothers and children. She hopes the group’s work and the African Thanksgiving will enable many people to know the joy of helping to save and enrich lives.
