Blog Excerpt - Tuesday, February 1, 2011 - "Together We Can Make a Difference"

Every once in awhile we receive an amazing message from one of our partners telling us about a great project they are working on and how funds from our amazing donors have contributed to it's completion. Our most recent comes from Rosemary Kamau from Kenya. I wanted to let Rosemary share in her own words what having hardworking and caring volunteers coupled with donations meant to her and the children:

My name is Rosemary Kamau from Happy Life Children's Home in Nairobi Kenya. HLCH is a home for abandoned babies which was started in 2002, with the sole aim of rescuing abandoned babies. These are babies who are abandoned mostly immediatley after birth in different places and at times in very harsh conditions. Most of the children we have cared for have been adopted into families, both locally and internationally, but others remain under our care and we still admit others every other time. We would also want to appreciate GVN partnership for the continued support by sending different volunteers over the years. These volunteers have been of great help since the work we do is a lot, taking care of very young children. Thanks also for all the donations you have given to the children and on behalf of every child I say thank you.
