Before I continue posting the dolls and artwork that will be the centerpiece of the CTT Friendraiser/Fundraiser on June 25th, I'd like to remind you that the children we're helping have truly benefited from what we've done so far, and that they continue to desperately need our assistance.
The kids who live at St. Mary Kevin Orphanage have experienced devastating loss.
Some watched as their parent(s) died of AIDS or malaria. Some watched as their parent(s) were murdered by the Lord's Resistance Army in northern Uganda.
Some lived with extended family before coming to St. Mary Kevin Orphanage. Some lived on the streets.
All of them have been touched by pain, loneliness and despair.
Because of our help, these children really do now have a chance. They are well-fed. They know where they will sleep at night, and they know they have a very good chance of continuing their education.
They also know that they have many friends in America because of Change the Truth. They understand that, with our continued assistance, they will be able to look forward to each new day with a genuine sense of hope.
** I submitted this post last night, and today I received the following message from Nelson, one of the students sponsored by CTT. Here is what he had to say to his CTT friends and sponsors:
"I always think about you and i do a have alot to learn from you. You changed my life!!!
I love you today tomorrow, the day after - and always you are in my heart!" - Nelson
