Our Dear Project Supporters

Thanks to YOU and a grant from GlobalGiving, the new Develop Africa Orphanage is almost complete - see photos.  We are putting the finishing touches to the renovation.  

We are super excited as this new orphanage - called the Develop Africa Dream Home - will be complete by the end of April.  We are sooo very excited - as we will now be able to house and take care of up to 24 Ebola orphans. 

We hope to restore the dreams and hopes of these kids - who have lost their parents through Ebola.   What better way to be a blessing to humanity!

All this would not have been possible without your support.  YOU helped make this happen and we are so grateful to you.  

We will be adding special inspirational posters to the rooms - see the photos for a couple example - held by the kids outside the building.

As we prepare to launch, we would like to ask you - how would you like to be involved?  We welcome your suggestions in taking care of these orphans.  What should we be sure to remember and do?  Let us know - we are eager to hear from you.

Other Great News - GlobalGiving is currently matching all donations at 100%.  Currently there are still matching funds available - so please rush and make your donation today.  This is a great time to join us in taking care of Ebola orphans.  

Your donation of $25 will be doubled to $50.  $100 will be doubled to $200.

Let's do this together and make this home a true Dream Home for these deserving Ebola Orphans.  

If you have already donated, please forward this email to your friends or share the following link on Facebook - http://goto.gg/17671 - inviting them to donate towards this worthy cause.

Thanks so much for your support.

With gratitude
The Develop Africa Team
