Last year - we brought t-shirts for the kids at both care-points - to use as an alternative to the school uniform they wear every day. For most of the kids - the t-shirt and the school uniform are their first NEW clothing items, and for all of the kids, it was a welcome spare.
Both care-points are enrolling more children (50 at Kind Hearts and 40 at Trees of Glory). That's 90 more orphaned and destitute children that will be matched with a sponsor family and provided with nutritious food, clean water, clothing, medical care, education and Christian discipleship.
It is shocking to see these kids when they first enroll in the program - and see them again just a few months later when they are healthier and happier and feeling safety and love! Click here to see before and after photos from our trip last year - the difference is truly AMAZING!!!
As we gear up for the trip this year - I am looking for a donor to cover the cost of the T-shirts for the 90 new kids, plus a few extra shirts for those that need to be replaced. Cost per shirt is $3.50 - total cost depending on how many shirts (100-125) we purchase would be $350 - $450. The same printer we used last year is willing to provide the shirts to us at cost!

If you would like to cover the cost of the t-shirts (or even part of the cost) please email me at kjwistrom@yahoo.com. This is a tangible and immediate way to impact the lives of the newest kids at the care-points - to help them feel like they belong, are fully welcomed, and to provide a much-needed change of clothes!
