Relief Supplies
Thank you to all who donated the more than 27 TONS of relief supplies we shipped to Zambia in 2007! Thousands will benefit from your kindness. Kindly note that our next shipment will be in 2008, and we will not be accepting donations until after the first of the year. Keep an eye on the web site for updates on the items we will be accepting at that time.
Every year we ship close to 20 tons of relief supplies to benefit widows, orphans and vulnerable children in Zambia. Every donation is valuable and greatly appreciated. These village girls were thrilled to receive a new dress, sewn by loving hands thousands of miles away.
