On Saturday, Elizabeth will have her 4th birthday party. Since she turned 2 (and we started having "friend" parties for her birthday), we decided that instead of presents from her friends, we would help her choose a charity and each child could bring something as a donation. When she was 2 we asked for canned food for our church's food pantry. Last year we asked for items for the local Children's home. This year we are collecting clothing for children in Kenya. We will mail the clothes to our friends Chris and Lindy and they will distribute them to some orphans/children at a nearby "school."
This afternoon, I checked Lindy's blog as I do religiously. Please click here and read this tender story. Near where they live is a "school" and the children there are so malnourished.
Above is a picture of Lindy holding a 4 year old boy who attends the school. It breaks my heart to see him so little, especially since Elizabeth is turning 4 and looks to be about twice his size.
Here's another of what appears to be the same little guy. Please read Lindy's blog and find out what you can do to help.

I was absolutely shock at how much difference there is between Brandon and the 4 year old in the picture. My heart just breaks for those poor kids.
ReplyDeleteI love how you do Elizabeth's Birthday Parties. She will grow up with a giving heart and attitude because of the way you and Luke have trained her up as a child.

I would never have guessed that little guy is 4 years old! I will check out their blog!
