Blankets

Material Resources

We, in North America, cannot even imagine the poverty in so much of our world.  Can we make a difference?  Doctor Chisenga is making a difference, and we want to use the resources God has given us to help him do that.

School kits give kids the basic tools to be able to do well in school.  Relief kits, Health kits, and Aids kits, are some of the ways we are helping our neighbors all over the world cope with war, poverty and natural disasters. 

When you pull your blanket over you each night, think of those who are smiling because they also have a blanket now.  Basic necessities such as a toothbrush, toothpaste, a bar of soap, a towel… we can’t even imagine a life without them.

Every blanket you sew can ease the comfort of 1 or of many.  Every kit you put together makes a difference in someone’s life.
