Giving Back

 
     As we move into the holiday season, I always start reflecting on all the important things in my life. My incredible husband and my three beautiful children are definitely my most wonderful blessings. I can't imagine my life without my sweet loves. Even though we're by no means wealthy, we've never gone without our basic needs. I have a roof over my head, food in my pantry, and clothes on my back. And for those things, I am so grateful.
    So when my church began a project in Tanzania to help the Shalom Orphanage, it really touched my heart. These sweet babies are across the ocean without so many of the things that we take for granted everyday. Many of them have incredible stories of survival. Here are some of their faces:

 : Mama Warra - The Founder & Executive Director of Shalom Orphanage Center

As you see here, she so loves the Children and the smile you see is not photographic. She is really devoted and all who visit Shalom applaud her efforts and loving kindness to the Orphans and the most vulnerable Children. 

  : “Goodluck” was found by a Good Samaritan, his whole body was buried, from the neck down. 

His parents don’t even know his birthdate.  When he was brought to the Orphange he was approximately 5 months old.

After many prayers and close attention, Goodluck is doing very fine, as you can see from his picture, by the grace of GOD. He is now 3 years old.

      The little boy on the right is “Goodluck”.  He was found by a Good Samaritan, and his whole body was buried, from the neck down. His parents don’t even know his birth date. When he was brought to Shalom Orphanage he was approximately 5 months old. After many prayers and close attention, Goodluck is doing fine, by the grace of GOD. He is now 3 years old.

   I've been pondering how I can give back to this project for some time. This month I'll be donating a portion of all my TpT sales to The Tanzania Project which will provide a stable income to support these, and many other, precious children. If you'd like to give back please visit my Teacher Pay Teachers store for some budget-friendly resources or visit the link below to donate directly to this incredible project.
