World Down Syndrome Day!…

On the World Down Syndrome Day website, it says it’s an hour twenty minutes till the start of WDSD 2015!

worldDownSyndromeDay2015

Just a few years ago, this day did not hold much significance to me. i knew it existed and what it was for but it wasn’t personal. Now it is. Because God opened my eyes to the world of special needs orphans, through the ministry of Reece’s Rainbow, which started because of a mother’s love for her boy with Down Syndrome and her love for orphans with the same condition but without the support of a loving family like her son.

Now at the beginning of March, Reece’s Rainbow started its special fundraiser, 21 Days of Hope, which raises money to help them have funds to continue to help these precious children who need to be given a voice. We were funding raising for Reece’s Rainbow Voice of Hope Fund as well as for the adoption grants of 21 specific children. 

And we did it! You did it! You helped! You gave! And the target was met and each of those 21 children got an additional US$2100 into their adoption grants. This will so help their forever families when they come for them. THANK YOU!

Now please check out how you can continue to help build awareness for World Down Syndrome Day here!

Please continue to support Reece’s Rainbow‘s work as well as the orphans they try to help.

Please continue to pray for these orphans and share their stories and need for a family with everyone you know.

Thank you!

Winner of the Koffermarkt in Basel Draw… Angel Crafts Shop…

On Sunday, i was at the Koffermarkt in Basel with Angel Crafts Shop. It was a lovely sunny day and people come out to shop 🙂

The table was shared with the Phoenix Trader 🙂

i had a wonderful time, speaking to people about Angel Crafts Shop’s mission to help grow adoption grants of special needs orphans as well as made a good number of sales, which will go to help grow Peterson’s grant.

i also met a Phoenix Trader, which i’m very pleased about cos i love Phoenix cards and they also give to charities every Christmas! There were people there who make pottery, scarves, knit-wear, decorative items, clothes, jams and jewelry. And i had the best cupcakes ever from Just Desserts! i am also happy to have made the acquaintance of people from Compassion – a charity which supports needy children in many developing countries.
