Update on Shoes and School Supplies

After my trip last March to visit my little friends in Shanto, Ethiopia, I knew exactly what I needed to do, raise money for shoes.  I wrote about why in a post last May.  It took a little over a month and enough was raised for all 150 children to receive a pair of shoes, I was thrilled!

At the end of June I spoke to the Mission's Committee at my church and they donated another $7,000 to ensure that the Shanto children would have a 2nd pair of shoes once they had outgrown their first pair and that everyone would have school supplies this year.  Once again, I was thrilled!!!

This week I received some updated pictures from FOVC via Children's HopeChest.  I am SO excited that the children have new shoes and school supplies.  Thanks to all who donated!
