Wow! how quickly five years have passed.  We are so thankful to God Almighty for His provision and blessing to achieve this great mile stone.  We pray and trust in the Lord for our future guidance.  God willing our prayer and desire is that by the time we reach the tenth year we will have more than ten projects with over one thousand children being served.  We request all your prayers and support to achieve this goal.
   We are so honored to receive the accreditation from ECFA (Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability®).  This is an affirmation of our financial commitment to each of our sponsors.  You could be assured that we will be faithful stewards of the funds that you entrust with us to enhance the life of these underprivileged children, in spiritual, social and physical growth.
