Greetings!

We hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season!  This year, we hope that CCB can be part of your holiday gift-giving plan.  Instead of heading to the mall, we urge you to visit the CCB page of the Changing the Present website (www.changingthepresent.org) and purchase a gift that change a life.  Children Creating Bridges has several gifts that are available right now!  Personalize your gifts with a beautiful printed greeting card, which includes a photo & description of your gift!  Look for more gifts to be added over the weekend!

For those gifts that you are shopping for online - don't forget to go to our your favorite stores via the WWW.GOODSHOP.COM website.  Simply enter their site and enter Children Creating Bridges as your charity.  A portion of each purchase that you make in all of your favorite online stores (Barnes and Noble, Circuit City, Snapfish, etc.) will be donated directly to CCB.

We wish you all a happy and safe holiday season!  May the New Year be filled with peace & hope for everyone.

First Annual Banquet - A Great Success - Thank YOU!
A big THANK YOU goes out to all of you that supported our First Annual Banquet that was held on November 29, 2008.  Over 70 people attended this fun-filled event.  We had speakers, a slideshow, wonderful food and a Magicomedy show featuring the magic of the Gustafsons.  In addition, we were very honored to premiere the first live performance of the teenage music group known as the BCS Superstars.

We want to thank all of our advertisers, sponsor and each and every donor.  Your support made our banquet a huge success!

Ethiopia Outreach Project - UPDATE
We have rapidly progressed with our plans to help an orphanage in Ethiopia better meet their humanitarian needs.  We will be sending much needed items to the orphanage in the next few weeks and will also be traveling to Ethiopia in 2009.  The reason for our travel is to help with the construction of a new facility that can better serve the children in need.   For us to see this project through we will need your support.  Please visit our
Donate Now page and donate to our Ethiopian Outreach Project.

Additional information about the orphanage:
  • Houses children ages 0-12
  • Currently cares for 150 babies
  • Needs humanitarian aid/basic supplies
  • The school-aged children are able to go to school
  • Located in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
