Vitamins for Beveni

Sunday, November 8 is Orphan Sunday! http://www.orphansunday.org/

Tom, Anthony, Aidyn and I are spending Sunday Nov 8 using our feet to walk to raise awareness of and funds for the 102 orphans and vulnerable children of the Beveni Carepoint in Swaziland. It has been such a joy and privilege to coordinate care and sponsors for the kids there! Now we have the opportunity to do something extraordinary for them but we need help!

We have a connection with a ministry that will supply vitamins at a penny a pill! So $1.02 a day will supply each child at Beveni with vitamins. Add a few pennies more, and we can provide the go go’s as well (including calcium pills, 4 for a penny).

We have been blessed with a team of incredible people in South Africa who voluntarily travel to Beveni every 4-6 weeks. They are willing to accept the shipment of vitamins to deliver to the carepoint.

Our family goal on Orphan Sunday is to raise $600: that is enough to purchase all the vitamins needed for one year and for shipping them to South Africa for delivery to the carepoint.

Of course, we also don’t mind raising more than that, for surely much is needed by the Beveni Community! We are already looking ahead to providing electricity and fruit trees, so any money we raise will be put to great use!

If you are interested in learning more about the ministry of Vitamins 4 the World, please visit their web site: www.vitamins4theworld.org. It was started by a retired pharmacist who formulates the different vitamins and has them produced here in the USA. It is his desire to work with ministries to provide vitamins for the poor, the orphaned and the vulnerable around the world.

If you are able to help us reach our goal, please go to this link to make your secure, tax deductible donations: https://secure.pursuantgroup.net/pursuant4/hopechest/chcselect/donation.asp

In the notes section, please write: Beveni Orphan Sunday Walk

We appreciate any gift and all prayers for the Beveni community. God is accomplishing so much there, through His big kids for His little ones!

In Him, with joy and anticipation!
