PERFECT GIFTS FOR ALL SEASONS

Once in a while we all want to suprise or even show gratitude to those who we love. Before you go, please take a few minutes at http://matanyashope.org http://matanyashope.blogspot.com and shop for the perfect gift to give and receive from a loved one.

If you can, please consider sponsoring a child so they can continue their education (a new school year starts in January in Kenya which is why it is so important to sponsor a child NOW. If you wait, it may be too late for many of them). You have the power to change a child\'s life and to give them the opportunity to experience what we often take for granted - food, shelter and education.

If you can\'t sponsor a child completely please consider making a donation. This is a great gift to give your child\'s teacher.

Join the cause here at facebook if you haven\'t already:

VOICE OF THE SPONSORS



To celebrate how fortunate we are this year (even though money is tight and I am working 2 jobs, my children realize how fortunate they are) we decided to sponsor a child. He is 13 years old - the same age as my middle son Mason. His name is John N.

As I told my children, we are just 4 people, but to John N. we just became 4 of the more important people in his world. We have the power to change his life and to give him the opportunity to experience what we take for granted - food, shelter and education.

It doesn't take much to change the life of another. All it takes is realizing that you have the ability to make a difference. How you choose to make the difference is up to you. Matanya's Hope can use help in a great number of ways: sharing your graphic design skills; holding a fund-raising event at your place of employment, church or child's school. You could be the person who changes someone's life - how you do it is up to you as long as you do something
