We had a wonderful time with the children.

Our current fundraising event is with Sami- her blog is little goody2-shoes. Sami has raised half the amount needed for the 175 children in the sponsorship program. She is 12 years old and making a HUGE impact. Check out her blog and her necklaces! She's currently hosting a giveaway- it's free to enter.
