GIFTS FOR THE ORPHANS



It is time to begin donations to our orphanage gift funds for the Christmas party. Each year, all donations for Christmas gifts are posted to a separate fund so we can divide up the money between the orphanages for a party. The children enjoy planning skits and performances to show off their talents. They enjoy good food and receive small gifts. It is one of the greatest highlights of their year.

If you sponsor a child in one of the orphanages, please consider helping us with this event. Add a little extra to your check and note “Xmas Gift Fund.”

We want all children in the orphanages to be treated equally. Some sponsors are blessed with money to give, but other sponsors are sacrificing to send in the sponsorship payment. It’s only fair that all children receive similar gifts. The Christmas party is the way we make things equal for all children.

Donations for the Christmas parties at the orphanages must be received no later than December 15th in order for the workers to plan and know the amount of money they can spend.

If you sponsor a child who lives with a relative, you can give extra funds specifically for that child. However, if there are siblings in the family, our worker will divide up the money to buy gifts for the other children in the family also.

Donations for birthday gifts will be handled the same way from this time forward.

If a child is in the orphanage, your donation will go into a “Birthday Gift Fund” and from those funds every child will receive a birthday cake and small gift on their birthday. Most orphanages host monthly birthdays for those having a birthday that month. We do not wish for one child to receive a big gift and other children receive no gift at all. Some of our kind sponsors cannot afford to send extra money.

We have taught the children that receiving gifts is a blessing and they must share with the other children; however, human nature teaches us that the joy is not the same for the children who did not receive the gift themselves. We hope you understand the change in our policy. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us (patbrown10@gmail.com; paigeagape@gmail.com) or call 678-423-4396.
