Kids helping Kids

The following letter along with a check was received in our Oregon office recently.  It perfectly illustrates Father Verplancken's wish to promote children from other parts of the world helping the Tarahumara children.

Providence Lutheran Church

Brookville, OH 45309

Tarahumara Children's Hospital Fund

Dear Sirs:

One of our members recently visited Mexico and gave us information on your hospital. The young children our Sunday school bring extra money each week to, be‑put in their "Share‑Bear" to, be contributed to those more  needy than they are.  This month they decided they wanted to share their offering money to help provide care for the children you serve.

God‑bless you as you care for His children.

In Christ's name,

The children of Providence­

The letter was signed by all the kids in the class.  Here's a scan of the actual letter with the kid's signatures.  Click on the picture for a full size view of the letter.
