Update on our trip to Jamaica...

Parents are already responding with positivity. Because the trip was such a success, we will be arranging support groups with specialists, purchasing equipment, and assisting with the necessary evaluations for a school placement. The need is great, and we will continue to serve the children we can. Thank you to board member Joy Ellis for connecting LWCF with such wonderful children and their communities. If you are interested in this project and would like to get involved or just want to learn more, let us know!

A few photos from LWCF volunteers in Jamaica this past week. A team of board members and trained professionals are helping identify children with additional needs and, as you can see, having fun while doing it. If you are interested in volunteering on a similar trip in Guatemala, let us know! Together we can help provide the tools and skills needed for these children to thrive.

Thank you to our amazing team in Jamaica! 🙏

Sponsor needed! As many of you know, we have a sponsorship program for the Mukuru Slum in Nairobi, Kenya. So far, we have sent 141 young people to high school and 38 to university. We have three medical students, an aspiring lawyer, several nurses and much more. There is one young man whose sponsor had been very involved, but suddenly passed away. This young man needs a new sponsor for his last two years. If you or someone you know is interested please send us a message.
This student plans to major in Agriculture. They are particularly interested in beekeeping, a vital trade in communities that rely on subsistence agriculture and live off the land. And since it's earth day, help us help this student protect the environment.

Don't forget to.. play! Thanks to a generous donation from one of our board members, LWCF has been able to donate playground equipment to children's centers in Tanzania. With all that's going on these days, children can remind us of what matters most: to play in the face of adversity, to laugh in spite of hardship, and to come together when the world seems low.

Thank you to all our donors and all of the children we are able to serve for reminding us of hope and play.
