A Time for Everything

Below is a passage you may have heard before.

There is a time for everything. . . .     
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot. . . .
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance. . . .
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
 
If I look back at the time we spent together this past year, I find many parallels in these words.

• In Ethiopia, 28 homes were destroyed by fire … and you helped us rebuild them.
• In India, Maria was abandoned in the garbage by her mother … and you gave her shelter and loving care.
• In Italy, unaccompanied minors left war or extreme poverty in their countries … and you gave them hope again in our towns.

Together we have accomplished so much. I invite you to click here to read our 2017-2018 Annual Report. As you will read, your generous support of A Chance In Life has allowed us to turn a time of despair, mourning and fear into a time of hope, peace and joy for so many children in need. This is the time to celebrate!

P.P.S. There is a time for everything, and the time has come for us to retire the title of "Note from Our President." You will now be receiving your monthly updates from me personally. I look forward to sharing many more stories of how your support is changing the lives of our young citizens!
