What does this have to do with Charlie? Angel Covers is an organization that is dedicated to helping orphans all around the world, and they take on some of the most unbelievable projects. Before Charlie came home to me, Angel Covers found out about him. They did fundraising to have him evaluated and get hearing aids for him. In essence, they gave him his first sounds.
Some of the other things they do are supporting blankets for babies type projects; milk for orphanages; the cow, chicken, goat thing; feminine hygiene supplies for areas where females lose too much time from school because of menstrual flow; and many, many others.
My pet project is an orphanage specifically for the deaf they support in Kenya. There is a deaf school named Humble Hearts, and Angel Cottage is a home connected with this school. They are trying to build a new home for the kids, because the original one was only intended for 25 children, and they now have many, many more than that. The building is very primitive (the kids have to bail water out of it periodically) and the new one is desperately needed because they have hit the point where they have had to turn needy children away. The building is only being built a bit at a time, as the funds come in.
If you are looking for a wonderful place to make a charitable contribution this Christmas, I ask that you prayerfully consider this one. You can follow the blog (linked under "My Blog List" to the left), you can visit their website at http://www.angelcovers.org/, you can buy Christmas cards designed by the orphans of Angel Cottage at http://www.angelcovers.org/holidaycards.html (a bit late for this year, I know, but you could buy early for next year!), or you can make a flat-out donation using the widget below:
Even the smallest gift will help to make a huge impact in the lives of the kids at Angel Cottage.
Many blessings,
K
