By Louise and the KTD196 Dream Team | Jack of all trades, master of none!
What a privilege it is to have 365 new days of opportunity ahead of us, ok well 360 new days are left. I want to make sure that since I have the honor of seeing this New Year, I have a responsibility to make the most of this privilege.
One of the things the children say to us is that KTD196 brings hope! Hope of a different future, hope of a better future, hope that life will improve, HOPE! You are carriers of HOPE! Yes, it can be overwhelming to think that all you did was give money but I am serious. Through your gift, we are able to bring HOPE where there really is not much available. HOPE is a choice, but it takes time, effort, and energy to shift thinking from that of being a victim or fatalistic mindset to realizing that it is in the small choices we make every day that produce the greatest positive or negative impact.
Because of your support during the Christmas season and the Giving Tuesday fundraising with corporate gift cards and general gift cards we are able to continue with all our programs into the New Year. This is a wonderful start to the year.
When we return to work on the 10th of January, we will be brainstorming our plans and scheduling our activities for the coming quarter which include continuing the Children’s Program, Food4Life program, and the Self Help Groups.
I am so grateful to you for your support. We are able to continue to change lives, families, and communities.
I wish you could personally experience the impact we have, the excitement we see on the children’s faces, the joy on the faces of the ladies as they meet on a weekly basis to save money, learn how to run a small business, and support each other, the happiness they all share as they are working together building food gardens to sustain their families. TO that end I want to invite you, especially since we are no longer on the red list, to come and see for yourself the impact of your donation. Also, you can watch various interviews with the children and adults, particularly women, we have supported over the year. The link to our YouTube station is below.
Thank you for your support, thank you for making such a huge difference. I appreciate you so much.
Louise
