March is our support for The Belarus Orphanage! Contact us to Help!

March is our Support Month for the Belarus Baby Orphanage.  But January We Are Collecting Coats for Refugees!

    Thank You to Everyone who Provided Support!

    This year we surpassed our goal and  collected  $7200!  This helped send 60 children to camp and allowed for clothing, medicine and other needs of  Children in the Orphanage. Thank you to everyone providing support!  Since 2004 we have raised $72,200 to support the orphanage!  Next year we hope to surpass this goal.  With the troubles in that part of the world - the need is great! Please contact us if you can help.  We are collect donations throughout March


    The orphanage has 150 orphans under the age of 4.  The Isle of Hope camp provides a wonderful summer camp for the children bringing outdoor activities and an opportunity to learn the Gospel.  A child can be sent to the 10 day camp for as little as $80.  These children are much in need having been  affected by the long-term aftermath of the Chernobyl nuclear accident in 1986.
