Toys for the Children (TftC) was founded in 1997 by Jimmy Atkinson and Cam O'Brien,
- two Scuba divers who had been diving in the Honduras-area for over a decade and
who wanted to do something to help the children in this impoverished region.
Unlike many charities with complex contribution models, TftC was founded on a simple principle - to collect toys for the
children and personally deliver them to the Bay Islands (Honduras) each year around Christmas. Over the years, TftC also
began to collect school supplies, personal hygiene items, and household staples and expanded the
distribution area to include Costa Rica and Turks & Caicos.
Living conditions in these areas are well below poverty levels found in the United States.
Toys for the Children is an all-volunteer effort focused on improving conditions where there is no Red Cross,
Salvation Army, food stamps, or welfare checks. Our organization is completely supported through donations - including
everything from labor, materials, prizes - even the storage facility where we store the toys and other goods - we work
hard to ensure we remain a completely volunteer-driven organization.
The families in the areas we target have long-supported the diving community and we believe it is necessary to give
something back to their children because it is they who will become the next generation of dive masters, ecologists,
and government leaders in these areas.
