Love Packs to Liberia

Giving Children Hope partners to bring backpacks of aid to children in Liberia

(2006-12-01) Life in Liberia is not easy. The country has been hard hit by the AIDS pandemic and endured two decades of civil wars and unrest, which has left countless dead and over 13 million children orphaned. During this time, many children were forced to be child soldiers and had no hope of ever receiving an education.

Now, Liberia is seeking to rebuild their country and their hope. But, there are still countless orphans who have no one to count on. Many orphanages have more orphans than they can adequately care for, and many non-profit organizations have stepped in to help them out. Giving Children Hope with our special friends Todd and Jana Williams have partnered with God’s Kids to work with orphanages in Liberia to ensure that these kids get an education and are properly nourished.
Students working to get 2,500 packpacks filled in time for Christmas.

This Christmas season will come with a special blessing for these brave children. Giving Children Hope has sent a 40 foot container filled with 2,500 backpacks, nutritional supplements, medical and clinical supplies, bedding and blankets as well as sewing machines and cloth for sewing projects and many other needed and requested items to these orphans in Liberia. The backpacks are filled with toys, books, school supplies, hygiene items, candy, and other goodies. Schools and churches and community service clubs all came together to hold toy drives and volunteer in the warehouse to help meet the needs of these orphans. These children deserve all the happiness in the world for what they have been through, and we are blessed to be able to give them a piece of God’s love with this special gift.

In addition, a team from GCH will travel to meet the container in Liberia and supervise the distribution of Christmas joy. Keep them in prayer as they travel and prepare for the Christmas party on December 16th.
Praying for shipments safe delivery.

It is not too late to donate to this wonderful cause! Because of the urgent needs in Liberia, Giving Children Hope sent this container ahead on faith so that it would arrive in time for Christmas. Your donation will help to cover the costs of shipping and ground fees for our team as they spread the message of hope in Western Africa.
