Philippines: Day 10 — Our wonderful and diverse donors

From Philippines Photo Album 10

What a treat it is to have the opportunity to see who some of the many SCAW donors are. Most of the following are found in the donors’ labels that were distributed today in the Bicol Region of the Philippines. I am very proud to represent you as I see the happy and grateful faces of the recipients and their families.

So, who are the donors I speak of? Well, to name a few … individuals, families, parents to children, great grandchildren to great grandparents … schools, individual classes, students to teachers, retired teachers groups … people marking births, christenings, birthdays, graduations, retirements and those giving “In memory” of loved ones … senior citizens groups, Sunday schools, auxiliary groups, businesses and organizations … people from Canada, USA and from around the world … people celebrating important milestones, special holidays and important events …

The list of generous donors goes on and one. How wonderful!

The most important thing that I hope all these various types of donors know is that their gift of a bedkit has made a dramatic difference in the lives of these children, their families, and, in this case, their community.

Thank you to every donor. You really have made a difference — one child at a time!
