WHO is Heart for
Congo?
We are a community of people raising awareness of the
current state of DR Congo & bringing relief for those orphans in need, and
particularly the children who will never be adopted & will remain in DRC.
We will be partnering with a non-profit, Our
Family in Africa, to fundraise for these children. The group
was started by 3 West Point families (Riley & Michelle Post, Eric &
Lana Thornburg, & Dave & Naomi Beskow) all currently in the process of
adopting from the DR Congo. We have committed to 12 months of raising awareness
& fundraising.
NOVEMBER’S FOCUS:
Because September and October were huge fundraising months
we will be shifting our focus to raising awareness during the month of
November. We will be sharing DRC facts & stats, hearing testimonies of
changed lives, presenting information about the non-profit Our Family in
Africa, & introducing our 3 local families currently in the process of
adopting from the DRC- the Thornburgs, Beskows, & Posts (my family).
CURRENT PROJECT:
Any donations received this month will be going towards
finishing a girls’ boarding school in a village outside Kinshasa. This home
will safely house & protect vulnerable orphan girls from the harsh
realities of the capital city of Kinshasa. These girls will not be adopted.
Your kind donations will help us provide ongoing food, water & education
for girls that will call this place home.
