Our oldest boys have left to go organize a large “Food Distribution” across the lake! We are so proud of our older “Love A Child” boys who have really “stepped in” and taken a big load off our shoulders! They have already met with the leaders in “each village” and had them “sign a list...
Love A Child travels to the regions beyond to provide medical relief to desperate people with nowhere else to go.
