thank-you-for-giving

Most of all I want to say thank you to all our friends who have donated so generously towards our work in Liberia.  You are the reason we continue to grow.  Because of your help we are able to take in more and more children and see CHILDREN AT RISK BECOME CHILDREN OF CHANGE!  Because of your help we can continue to give RICE TO OUR WIDOWS and TAKE THE SICK to the hospital. 

From our family to yours we wish you a YEAR FILLED WITH LOVE, PEACE AND JOY!!
