Thank you so much for supporting us--helping with birthdays is creating a new culture for these children, one that says "God made me, God sees me, and God has a plan for my life: and today, I celebrate that."

currently, no money has been coming in for birthday parties. We have barely been receiving enough for our general budget, which goes to food and the daily program. I (Rachel) have been using my own funds to continue this, because I see the great need for it, but I would love to have partners in this: www.wribrazil.com/10forthem
