Our Ministry this month is ChildFund International, which began in 1938 when they started to build orphanages for the children who had been left without homes or families after the second Sino-Japanese War. The orphanages were funded by different individuals in America. ChildFund works in 31 different countries, helping approximately 13.5 million children and their families world-wide!!

We have been sponsoring a few children before Cheri's Angels started. Paul and Fabiola live in Ecuador, and Bela lives in Indonesia. This month we will raise money to give the gift of Farm Animals. Farm Animals provide long-term, sustainable help to the children and their families. There are different choices of animals, such as rabbits which cost about $50.00, as well as chickens, ducks, dairy goats, and piglets.
This is Bela and her family. She lives in Indonesia, she is in 8th grade, and will be 13 on January 22nd. Her favorite subject is math, and she wants to be a doctor. Her after-school activities include playing volleyball and practicing dancing. Her father sells shoes and sandals in the market, and her mother is a housewife. |
