Dear Friend, Thank you for taking the time to look through this gift catalog, and learn about how you could help a child and family across the world!

When you give a gift from the following pages, it will go directly to a child or family in great need. I truly can’t think of a more meaningful or life-changing gift you could give!

SCHOOL LUNCH PREVENTS HUNGER $25

EDUCATION FOR A GIRL $125

The child who will receive your gift may live in an orphanage and needs your help while he waits to reunite with his family or join a family through adoption. Or perhaps your gift will help a child stay in the loving care of her family — by providing nourishing food, a school scholarship, or a small business microloan to help her family earn an income.

I’ve seen time and time again how someone like you can absolutely change — even save — the life of a child or a family.

Whether you give a goat or school lunches, a sewing machine or a warm coat, your gift, given in faith, has exponential impact.

Not only will it help to meet a child’s most immediate needs — it will, one day, help them escape the cycle of poverty.

For good.

Thank you for extending God’s love and care to a child or family in need!

With a grateful heart,

Phil Littleton President & CEO Adoptive Parent
