write when there's news...




Remember our dear Bette, who I first told you about in March 2008? We are hoping to continue our support of her mother who has become ill and is no longer working. Bette is in school and is grateful for our help and our love (still asking the same question, Will you be my mother?)

In April 2008 I posted about "Bette's Birthday",,,look back for details...

On my 40th birthday many dear friends combined their "40.00" gifts to allow Bette to be educated. I will be checking on her again and truly hope that my same forty friends (and relatives?) might send 43.00 this year, so we can finish up her high school years.

Please let me know if you want to participate.

Hello!
I frequent your blog, and know that you care deeply about kids in Africa.

You may or may not know that I’m the president of Vulnerable Children Society, a Canadian non-profit that works with Ethiopians to sponsor children in four different communities in Ethiopia. We have many children waiting to be sponsored, and were wondering if you, as a member of the adoption blogging community, would PLEASE POST OUR SPONSORSHIP VIDEO AND A LINK TO OUR WEBSITE ON YOUR BLOG. We would really appreciate it!! as we need your help to extend our reach and find sponsors for waiting children.

Here is the youtube video: http://youtu.be/URFzXVGjBEg

And here is a blurb about what we do. Thanks so much for your support!!! We really appreciate it!

Vulnerable Children Society is a Canadian non-profit organization that helps children in Ethiopia to survive and thrive. With their partner, Faya Orphanage, Vulnerable Children sponsors children and families in four communities in Ethiopia, so that despite their hardships, the kids can remain in their communities while receiving medical care, food, a family home and a chance to attend school.
For only $35 a month, you can make the world of difference to a child and their family. When you work with Vulnerable Children, you know that skilled Canadian volunteers and professional Ethiopians are ensuring that your money is wisely invested in deserving children.

As the video says, ever child deserves a future. Please consider sponsoring a child.

You can see children available for sponsorship on Vulnerable Children Society’s homepage: http://vulnerablechildren.ca
