Memories in Mubende

Note of Thanks

I recently received this note of thanks from a pastor in Kenya.

A Couple of Updates…

First off a huge thank you to everyone who supported us through our Mother’s Day campaign. I love that I do not personally know so many of the people who shopped and donated. It’s amazing to me how word spreads about this work. I’ve learned a long time ago to not try to figure out how […]
