It rains a lot in the Philippines. Sometimes the children are hesitant to go to school in the rain. This group of about a hundred sponsored children got umbrellas for Christmas. They also had some good food and fun at the Christmas party. They were very happy.
Thank you. This was all made possible by donations from Partners, Sponsors and Friends who gave so the children would have a special Christmas.
The simplest things mean so much -- a new toothbrush is special to a child who never had one before, a new t-shirt for the first time, a bath towel that doesn't need to be used by everyone in the family, an umbrella for rainy days. Most of the children, when first sponsored, have never had new underwear. A few never had any at all. One teenage girl cried when she received a brand new bra for Christmas because she had never had a new one before. To give a family a cake for Christmas is really special.
Your donations make it possible to help children -- body (nutritious food), soul (education) and spirit (the Gospel of Jesus). Have you considered sponsoring a child or helping feed hungry children? The changes that occur in the child who benefits from your generosity are eternal changes. You probably will never see here on earth a child you help educate or feed, but one day you may see that child in heaven and know he or she is there because you gave to them.
