In addition to our friends who participated in "Change for Change" this year to help with school supplies... we have, for the second year received backpacks for each of our 30 kids from a group of families in Texas. This group has joined together each year and had a "Back to School Party" for us. The kids each bring backpacks that their family has bought to send to our kids. They make cards and send little treats for each of our children to receive along with their backpack, so that they know someone was thinking of them!
It is such a blessing to see churches, families & most of all, children across the country reaching out in love to kids across the ocean! The love of Jesus shines bright as we love each other! A big thank you to The Smith family for organizing the "backpack parties" and sending them to us! There are more pictures of these backpacks from the first day of school.
If you would like to know how your church, school or neighborhood can take part in "Change for Change" to help the orphans in our care and in our county, please visit www.livada.org or contact kelly@livada.org. Thanks!
