Dallas, TX - January 29, 2003 - A Mothers Charm TM, an online retailer of jewelry made especially for mothers, selects Buckner Orphan Care International (BOCI) as the charitable organization to donate a percentage of profits through May 2003. A Mothers Charm TM supports a variety of organizations that have a goal of building and strengthening families and helping children. Philanthropy projects geared toward orphans and international adoptions are of special interest to A Mothers Charm. Both of the founders are adoptive moms of children from Russia.

Buckner Orphan Care International, a part of a private social care organization founded in 1879, is committed to long-term goals and solutions for children facing difficult circumstances in their lives. They are committed to making a difference and offering hope. This is accomplished through many different programs.

Buckner Orphan Care International started in 1995 in response to an invitation from Russian officials who sought Buckners expertise to help overcome problems in the countrys orphanages. Today, BOCI has programs in Russia, Romania, Kenya, and China. BOCI is in the process of expanding to Mexico, Guatemala, Botswana, and Latvia and are providing humanitarian aid to Afghanistan, Belize, Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Georgia, Haiti, India, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kazoo, Latvia, Mexico, Peru, Romania, Russia, the United States and Ukraine.

BOCI helps develop foster care programs that will provide a nurturing environment for children, reduce the number of children in orphanages and provide a permanent plan for children.

Another important part of the work of BOCI is humanitarian aid to children. This aid is provided in the form of medicine, medical supplies and equipment, clothing, developmental toys, food and school supplies. Shoes for Orphan Souls" is an annual shoe drive that collects new shoes, socks and shoelaces in a national shoe drive. Since 1999, over 600,000 pairs of NEW shoes have been sent to orphans in over 23 countries. BOCI schedules many mission trips a year for individuals, church groups and professionals to participate and help with international orphans. BOCI also helps improving orphanages. BOCI has put in heating systems, bathrooms, replaced plumbing, roofs, build developmental play areas and playgrounds for children.

Buckner Orphan Care International was chosen by the founders for two reasons: their sons. Their sons were adopted from Russia in 2001 from St. Petersburg, Russia. Both of the founders witnessed the needs the children have as well as the aid provided by BOCI. The children in the orphanage touched deep into their hearts. BOCI is important because help is given to children all over the world, including here in the U.S.

BOCI is part of one of the largest Christian organizations of its kind in the nation, Buckner Baptist Benevolences, which was founded in 1879, as the Buckner Orphans Home in Dallas, Texas. Today, Buckner has vastly diversified services dedicated to restoration, care and healing of children, families and senior adults.

About the Company

Two mothers, Kari Hunt and Ruth Ellen Heaton, who met in the process of adopting their sons in 2001, founded A Mothers CharmTM in September 2002. Their boys were good friends living in the same orphanage in Russia. Relishing the firsts" and other special moments with their newly expanded families, these career women and new mothers with a growing friendship and a passion for philanthropy, decided to make another life altering change. They wanted to create a business that would provide mothers a way to capture and converse about some of their precious motherhood moments, while at the same time, make a difference in the world around them.

A Mothers CharmTM is currently seeking to expand distribution by offering their products through retailers.

Utilizing the web, A Mothers CharmTM (www.motherscharm.com) is building a sense of community among mothers and offering visibility, as well as portions of profits on a rotating schedule, to small, charitable organizations that promote family in a variety of ways. Many of the charities of interest are focused toward the needs of children, both here in the United States and around the world. Some of the philanthropic interests are the same charities that helped the founders sons before they were adopted.
