I would like to take this time to remind you who Helping Hands serves. Would you take a moment to look into the eyes of these young girls and remember...
Remember that all over Africa there are children being orphaned at a rate that history has never seen before... remember that these children are in their formative years and that they are watching and waiting to see how the world they live in responds to them.
In the villages where Helping Hands serves, hundreds of children are experiencing hope. They are seeing in their village a passionate response to them. They are not forgotten, they are not rejected and they are not alone. Through the assistance and intervention of Helping Hands they see a community who sees them. In their formative years they are learning that although they are poor, although they face many losses and heartaches, the world they live in cares for them. Apart from providing basic needs such as food, Helping Hands has developed programs that are aimed at helping these children grow up to be whole and sound, to know that they do have a place in this world and that this world is eager and happy to give them this place.
It is my joy to serve in this cause. Every person who works and serves in and through Helping Hands is required to passionately remember the children we serve and to embrace this vision with faithful and joyful hearts.
As you remember the children and remember their lives and remember their hope for a future, would you add to your commitments to faithfully care for the children of Africa and their place in our world.
With kind regards,
Michelle Tessendorf
