Orphanage Gift Project Update

There is still lots of time to raise money for the orphans at Hands and Feet orphanage in Jacmel, Haiti.  We've moved our collection date to March 28th, our Easter MOPS meeting.  I (Anna) will be in charge of collecting and mailing in our gift. 

Our original idea was for our children to do projects or jobs at home to raise nickels and quarters for the orphans.  Of course you may participate however you wish.  Here are some chore ideas:

Older kids could do a lemonade stand or bake sale if we have a nice warm Saturday before March 28th! Or whatever else you all think of.  Here is one last link which may help in teaching our kids (and reminding ourselves) of God's perspective on money and giving.
