Dear Little Big Help friends,
I just wanted to give you an update on Our Home and the Little Big Help Charity Project. I've been in contact with the director recently and he wanted to express his deepest gratitude to all of you for contributing to their cause. They have been able to buy food for all the children thanks to your generous donations. The money sent directly after the Charity Concert (totaling over 1.2 million won!) went to food expenses. It was great timing because they were overdue on payments and in danger of getting their food supply cut off.
Most recently personal donations plus the donations from the Mad Hatter's Party totaled in another 1 million won. Again, the timing was great. We received a distress message from them that there was no money for food so I know it was put to good use. Thanks to your contributions, the kids got to enjoy Christmas well fed instead of spending the holidays hungry.
The pencils, beautiful letters and gifts from our students have also been sent and should have hopefully made it by Christmas. What a wonderful gift; a personalized letter or Christmas card from a Korean pen pal!
As the project comes to an end on Jeju Island; it continues as my journey to India comes closer. I am gathering art supplies, games and other fun presents to bring to the orphans when I visit to volunteer there at the end of February. I promise to post lots of pictures on the Little Big Help face book group for you to share with your students.
Thanks again for all your support you have truly made a difference!
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
