PriceSlashersOnline.com is a fundraising consumer electronics store of which its sole purpose is to support the vision of: WARD INTERNATIONAL
Ward International was founded by Dr. Chris L. Ward an ordained minister and Hall of Fame ex-football player. After working as an ordained elder in a traditional international religious organization for seven years, Dr. Ward saw a tremendous need placed on our society by the dissimilation of the family structure. Pastor Ward sought a solution to the overwhelming problem created by a lack of moral character and traditional family values. Ward International is a secular after school program that targets at risk youth and assist them with the day-to-day task of becoming viable and competent members of our society.
Our organization was established in 1998 and is serving the greater southern California area and more specifically headquartered in the Inglewood, California community. Recently we were honored by Los Angeles City Commissioner Janice Hahn, Mayor Roosevelt Dorn and the entire city council of Inglewood, California and Superintendent Pamela Powel of Inglewood Unified School District with a placard of distinction for our community service and continued dedication. We endeavor to continue to be excellent in our service to the youth of southern California and the world. We continue to honor our ongoing partnership with the Inglewood Unified School District and the city of Inglewood as well as the greater Los Angeles south bay area. Our participation with Hillcrest High School and Dr. Edward Brownlee as an afterschool mentoring program helped him to achieve a one-year 200 point increase in school test scores and catapulted him to a national principal of the year nominee. Our international outreaches have taken us to the Caribbean, Africa, Mexico, and Asia. We have personally trained or mentored young people in Arkansas, Georgia, Florida, Ohio, Missouri, and Nevada. It is our belief that through mentoring and direct contact over 100,000 lives have been positively effected. Our international radio and television outreach is affording us the opportunity to reach millions.

Vision and Mission Statement Our vision and mission statement would be to Identify and edify up to 100 very low, low and moderate income young people per year in the following areas: (1.) To edify their entry level job skills and to encourage them to become entrepreneurs in the fields of wholesale marketing and product sales on the internet. (2.) To introduce them to the fields of real estate basics in identifying and the valuation of potential foreclosure and tax sale properties. (3.) Finally to teach them the basics of mortgage qualification and the calculations necessary to finance or refinance any residential property. (4.) Introduce and prepare students for entry level financial service (Insurance& Investments) career placement. This program will be an after school program that will be an educational activity and its primary objective will be to divert juveniles from adverse and destructive behavior and encourage productive life styles. Summary of Need Statement (Problem): In our attempt to assist young people with the direction and edification of their futures including the furtherance of their academic endeavors (graduating high school and getting a degree in higher education) as well as the maintenance of any normal family life we have found increasingly that financial assistance was absolutely necessary for completion of these activities. Summary of Programs (Solution): The job training and business program will be a program that will directly effect the dire financial crisis that has gripped the families of the inner cities. The training will give them a new outlook on life and inspire them to create new business and become viable taxpaying citizens. Unemployment and public assistance will be positively affected as well as the need for interaction with law enforcement and the probation department. Ward International will have a direct effect on the ongoing financial downturn in the economy because we will address truancy, drug and gang involvement as well as deterring premature pregnancy. The need for job creation and increase of viable business opportunities that inspire positive behavior will be positively affective. The tax base will be increased as the development new of business owners increases. We will inspire a new generation business owners and employers.
