Yet, there is hope in his eyes when he speaks of the dreams he has for his children.

Rest or complacency should not be in sight when people all over our world do not have food or basic necessities to survive.

1.9 billion people live in extreme poverty. Behind this startling statistic are people, people who work tirelessly to provide food for themselves and their children. Let’s stand along side the poor, let’s stand beside Risper.

Your giving lets her know she has a community.

Your giving lets her know she is not alone.

Your giving gives her hope.

Let’s not rest until extreme poverty is kicked off the face of the planet.

Despite all the set backs endured this past year, the students are thankful. The teachers at Furaha have done everything possible to prepare each student for their tests. We pray over them as they continue final preparations.

Let’s keep praying.

Reminder: Love In Action

https://whenigrowup-global.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Reminder-Love-In-Action.png 951 474 When I Grow Up When I Grow Up https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ab0caf29a1f135548112ce5f4bfdbc888ba0cea56a68cebc17dd9e42e40b89d9?s=96&d=mm&r=g June 15, 2020 June 25, 2020

…Your generosity, your prayers remind our dear friends that they are not alone and they are not abandoned. Your giving is love in action – in a profound and live-giving way…”

Watch below to see how your giving is changing lives

As June begins the amazing relief work of the Furaha team and the Go Guatemala Team push on with energy and determination.

The relief work is being led by amazing people. In Guatemala it’s spearheaded by a wonderful retired gentleman and in Kenya young college students lead the work to walk the alleys and bring blessed relief supplies.

All are our heroes.

Nairobi, Kenya and Guatemala City remain in lockdown with curfew.

The poor remain unable to work and with no work there is no money. No money = no food.

In Jacob and Palma, Haiti the school is closed and the teachers are all quarantined in Hinche (the main city near the school).

Like Kenya and Guatemala, in Haiti the Covid virus means everything remains closed down and life is even more just about survival!

And that’s where you come in! Your generosity, your prayers remind our dear friends that they are not alone and they are not abandoned. Your giving is love in action – in a profound and life-giving way.

Thank you.

While we all struggle with so much happening around us – and the fear, the anxiety, the tiredness it causes us – you are continuing to go beyond yourself to be a blessing to so many children and their families.

We remain humbly grateful.
