some of the gang...

more of the gang....

We had a great turnout...over 100 people made time in their day to drop by and make a doantion of some sort. We raised approximately $5000.oo in cash and donations. I know CHOIR will be thrilled with the results. I am so thankful to Mark and Colleen for hosting this event and also so thankful to all the people who donated to this worthy cause. The money and donations are going to make such an impact in these kids lives. Thank you just doesn't seem to be enough. I hope someday we can all see in some way the results of what we did on saturday. Thanks again for all of your efforts in making Saturday June 16th a huge success. You have blessed our family by your willingness to help kids in a different country who have nothing. I am so excited to be able to take the stuff over to the Foster home and also Liga school in Addis and deliver it and tell them it came from a bunch of Canadians back in Edmonton who really care about what happens to them.
God Bless you all
