Children's Home Report

Dear Friend,

Christmas day will arrive in the states with millions gathered around a lovely Christmas tree, opening gifts and sharing the joy of family, friends and an abundance of food. Yet in many places in the world, poor places like Malawi Africa orphan children will wake up Christmas morning only to face another day of despair, disease and quite possibly desperation.
Our Good Samaritan Children's Home of 100 children and 37 workers will have a Christmas
dinner of Chicken, French fries, soda and ice cream all thanks to the $1,200 donation from Trinity Baptist Church in Asheville, N.C. They will each also be given 500 Kwatcha (approximately $3.66 U.S.) to go shopping. Most have never seen that much money much less ever been shopping. They will be able to pick out something for their self - wouldn't you just love to be there to see their eyes in the store and know they get to get something that will be their very own! Thank you Bro. Ralph Sexton and your precious church for this wonderful gift!
These children love to be taught at school. We have our own school at the Children's Home for K-8th, but from 9th-12th they must go off to private school each day. It is almost cost prohibitive, it is like college tuition costs here in the states, and this is why so many Malawians never go past their primer school years. We have 21 children in grades 9-12 that starts January 2008. The greatest gift for these children would be to go to school and get their High School education. It costs us $300 per child per semester which includes tuition, transportation, books, 3 uniforms and a daily sack lunch. I beg you In Jesus name to help me have them all in school come January. If you can't sponsor one child, do what you can - any amount will help hold a spot in school for them. We here at Good Samaritan offices do mot keep one penny of support that comes in for the Children's Home or its workers, 100% goes directly where you designate it to be used.
Thank you for your gift(s) to these wonderful well deserving children!
Bro. Gentry "The Beggar"
