THANK YOU!
A special Thank You to Christ Lutheran Church of El Campo's ROC Group for their donation to the orphanage. ROC, which stands for Rely on Christ, is a group of 3rd and 4th grade students who raised $179.33. I was able to purchase much needed toiletry items with these funds. Thank you so much for your efforts!

CHRISTMAS PARTY
This past Saturday we had a Christmas Party full of crafts, singing, Santa, presents, and one SPECIAL DONATION from Shell. Each child received a gift from an Shell employee which was a either a much needed winter coat or shoes, another gift from the ladies group which was most likely a toy, and then a stocking full of small gifts! Plus, the kids that had a birthday in November and December received an additional gift for their birthday.

SPECIAL DONATION
Shell has generously donated $50,000 to the orphanage! With $25,000 they purchased a new van. The remaining funds will be used to update an existing study room and possibly add an additional room.
Happy Holidays to everyone! Think about what you can do to help others during this holiday season! It doesn't always have to be in the form of money, your time can go a long way to help someone in need!
