in the United States.

July 1, 2014

The HLF children had a wonderful time playing games with and giving toys away to the children in need. 

 Chhuani loved giving away her snacks and toys to children in the slums of New Delhi.

The vast needs in these slums was very sobering to the HLF children and adults.

Once in New Delhi, the children, Auntie Zeli and Uncle Josh 

spent a couple days in the slums serving the poor! 

The team visited a home where there was an eight year old girl taking care of her three younger siblings, while their parents were gone for a few days working. The parents absence for a few days at a time is common for this family and the needs that day were great.

This baby is one of the 3 siblings that the eight year old girl takes care of. There was no milk to feed the baby and therefore all the baby was drinking every few hours was a little bit of water.

Eni and Auntie Zeli decided not only to get the baby some milk but also to dress the baby with her very own HLF shirt. 

 This little child cried until Auntie Zeli picked him up. 
When he felt Zeli's caring arms, he got really quiet and content.

"How great is the love the Father has lavished on us,

that we should be called children of God!

And that is what we are!"

Ethiopian Mattresses: How Your Kids Can Help!

Last week we told you about a partner ministry in Ethiopia, Kingdom Vision International (KVI), who had been approached with a need for mattresses by several other orphanages in their area. 

Thanks to your generous support, we are already on our way to raising the $2,500.00 needed to provide 100 mattresses to the children at these orphanages. Praise God!

However, we still have a ways to go to reach that goal, and would love for you to consider getting involved. And since it's summer time, what would be more fun than getting your kids involved, too?

One supporter recently shared the need with her grand kids. She offered her usual "Jamma Bucks" to the kids to use on whatever they wanted, but said that she would match their gift if they chose to use the money to help the His Little Feet mattress project. 

All three grand kids said they would give all of their "Jamma Bucks" to help kids have good beds to sleep in. What a cool way for this family to partner together and make a difference for children in need!

Here are a few other ideas of how your kids (or any kids you know) can help His Little Feet raise the fund needed to provide good mattresses for these children in Ethiopia. 

• Lemonade/Hot Dog Stand - The classic "kid fundraiser." We've seen children (like those in the picture at right and below) raise hundreds of dollars for His Little Feet by selling refreshing drinks and tasty snacks in their neighborhood or at their church!
• Music Recital - Put on a concert for your family/friends/neighborhood, and sell tickets to benefit the mattress project. 
• Candy or Bake Sale 
• Art Sale - We know there are some great artists out there!
• Car Wash - A great way to help, and stay cool!
• Yard Work/Chores - You have to do it anyways, why not do it to help a great cause?
• Allowance - Give your regular allowance to help these children in Ethiopia. 

We would love to see 25 families/kids participate in this opportunity, which could help us meet our goal of 100 beds for children at the orphanages in Ethiopia. 

So, take time today to share this idea with a kid in your family or community, and join them as they have fun while helping others! 

(Also, we would love to inspire others with your story, so if your family participates be sure to send us pictures/updates that we can share!)
