We hope you will be moved to help the children with a donation. The price of one take-out large pizza (about $12) will feed, educate, and shelter one orphan for one month. It is our hope that others who are interested in helping the poorest of the poor’s orphans will choose to participate in this very worthwhile and life sustaining cause.
