IT'S GO TIME BABY!
FRIDAY JULY 3rd our Fearless Leader Sammy Welten, his wife VEE (pictured here) and 16 Crazy Canuck Ladies will be boarding a plane to head for Ukraine where they will change the lives (starting with their clothes:) of 167 orphan kids!
Just imagine... You are an orphan living in in an institution, not knowing who you are exactly; no parents or family, never leaving the compound you live in, not sure what's even outside those walls.
You don't really have the power of choice; what you'll eat, what you wear, who your roommates are, which bedroom you get... you're just lucky to have a "home".
Then along comes this TEAM of women from Canada and it is announced that they want to spend a whole day with YOU!! They are going to take you for a van ride to the Big Outdoor Market, and let YOU CHOOSE a new outfit of your very own brand new clothes, a new pair of your very own shoes that fit, AND take you to a restaurant for what may be your very first hamburger and fries!
...I imagine you would remember that day for the rest of your life!
We will have photos and a report posted right here when they get back after the 14th of July...
THANK YOU to all the everyday philanthropists who gave towards the $60 per child to give every kid in that orphanage The DAY of their lives! We couldn't do this without YOU!
We would like to give a special "shout out" to Carloyn Helps and her Mom as they join in on this trip overseas. Carolyn is the winner of the very first essay contest in our "itotally matter" program for junior high girls. Way to go Carolyn!!
