Around the World Raffle Winner
In case you didn't receive the email we wanted to announce on the blog that ticket #0624, Alice R. of Corvallis, OR won the raffle! She and her husband spend most of their travel money on annual humanitarian trips to Ukraine where they have their own non-profit organization, so this is a special treat for them! Alice wrote to us, "...we are thrilled to imagine that we could go to Rome or Rio or Athens or Copenhagen or Sydney or Johannesburg! Thanks to this gift, our only limitation is our imagination." Congrats!
Thank you to EVERYONE who participated in the raffle this year! We sold all 1,250 tickets, which made it possible for us to purchase a new home(!) for the girls and to bring in 27 more children by the end of next year. We are so grateful and excited to expand our family!
New Home!
Here is a picture of the new girls home! The boys will remain at the home we purchased a year ago. We are thrilled about the expansion and know that it's only possible because of your support.
New Sponsors Needed
 |
| Lomilo and his sponsor Patricia |
Now that we have the space we plan to bring 27 more needy children into the Peace for Paul program. We feel so blessed to be able to do so. Our plan is to bring nine children into the home by July. Profiles of these children will be up shortly. We would like to start identifying sponsors so that once we bring the children in your sponsorship is already established. If you or someone you know would like to sponsor a child please contact Heidi at heidi@peaceforpaulfoundation.org. Thank you!
Packages
Thank you to all of those who are putting together packages for the children! Just a reminder, the packages need to be in our hands by June 1st. :) Thank you! The kids can't wait!
