THE BEST - HAPPY KIDS!
Here are some pictures of the devastation in Chincha, one of the harder-hit cities about 50 miles from Hannah’s Home and Hogar de Ninos. They are very sobering and you can see that we have our work cut out for us. As you know, money was wired to the area for […]

Seems the churches are getting together (take a lesson USA churches!) and collecting food, clothes and water for the affected cities. They have rented trucks from local congregation members and are trucking the stuff down […]

The Roller Coaster Continues!
I know its not about me, but its hard at this emotional time not to think of how this effects ChildReach. And now that I read it, what a selfish statement. Now that I know that all the loved ones are safe, the focus is turning to the damage. I have been getting conflicting reports […]
