Text Box: LETTER TO SPONSORS – April 19 2007

 

Dear Sponsors,

 

First of all, thank you so much for being a part of our orphan sponsorship program! The orphans of Teze-Ngie are getting the supplies, education and medicine they need to better their lives because of generous sponsors like you!

 

The Hearts for Cameroon Committee at St. John's (www.heartsforcameroon.org) is so thankful to all of you for your generous support and prayers.

 

UPDATE:

 

As you recall, our donations go to ASODI (www.asodi.org), the organization that helps orphans and epileptics in Teze-Ngie, Cameroon. ASODI has been able to professionally train orphans and get more help from doctors in figuring out the cause of the epilepsy epidemic. Jerome sent us an account of how the most recent quarterly donation was spent. He also sent a newspaper article about ASODI.  Here is his latest communication:
