Everyone’s Child Now
There is exciting news to share! Everyone’s Child has a new opportunity for the year ahead. But first, here is an update on what your support has accomplished this year.
Three ideas, Two months, and One student
If you’ve had a chance to read EC’s September blog, you may remember reading about the “value added moment,” when a student named Gordon said that he wanted to raise funds to help orphans go to school.
