Giving Children Hope’s container to Swaziland has made it safely on the ground to help orphans with AIDS in Swaziland.
Giving Children Hope partnered with Sierra Madre Congregational Church, Cerritos Baptist Church, and Irvine Presbyterian Church, to send humanitarian aid to Swaziland.
The container was filled with medical supplies and clothing, linen, fabric for sewing classes, knitting and crocheting supplies, kitchen set up supplies, school administrative supplies, school supplies for the children, sports equipment, and a large collection of children’s books and library supplies.
The container came together after Rachel Scoon of Pasadena, 19, was moved to help the AIDS orphans of Swaziland when she heard the director of New Life International School, Pastor Solomon Fasanmade from Swaziland, speak to her church youth group. With the help of Pasadena Christian School, her church, and several major department stores, including Target and Bed, Bath and Beyond, she was able to collect children’s clothing and bed linens. In addition, the three collaborating churches and her school, who have continued in partnership with New Life International School, joined together with Giving Children Hope to contribute toward filling this 40-foot container.
