Orphanage in need
Donation protected
My family and I are going to Ethiopia to visit my sister. She volunteers with an orphanage organization, Shamida Ethiopia. We want to help this organization.
All funds raised (minus transaction fees) will be given to the orphanage on our trip and my kids will write about their experience to share with their schools. We are raising funds until October 1st.
Sadly many children in Ethiopia do not have good food, clothes, or education. Unwanted children or family hardship caused children to be thrown away like garbage; many do not know what love is. One of my sister's first experience with Shamida was a response to a request for people to come by the orphanage to hold the babies to show them affection, a simple request yet hard to fulfill as many people turn their eyes from the orphanage. My sister stepped up and has been helping where she can for the last 2 years.
Abandoned children have little or no rights and are treated horribly, even at other orphanages. Shamida Ethiopia is trying to change that and provide a voice for children. It is not just an orphanage but a loving place where kids can grow and learn and have a fighting chance.
Quote from my sister "every child deserves to be loved no matter what their circumstances. Karen (who runs Shamida) provides a safe home, education, meals, health services and love everyday for over 250 children, aged between newborn and 8.”
Please consider donating to this cause.
Thank you
