Nothing beats the smile on the face of a child who opens a present that is just what they wanted. Imagine the thousands of children being cared for and educated through the work of the Villages of Hope Africa in Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Burundi, etc.. Imagine them getting a gift with all kinds of items they need and will enjoy? Several of the team at Lighthouse Church were privileged to go hand out just such gifts and can contest that the joy was overwhelming. Smiles bigger than the chesire cat.
This year, together with our friends in other churches are aiming to supply the money needed to ensure that every one of the 7,000 children get a gift. With lots of people doing a little and few people doing a lot, we can make this happen.
$25 is the cost for putting together the gifts. Teachers in each village work to put the packages together for their students and then in one big celebration they are handed out.
We are seeking to raise $4000 to provide for 150 children.
