Boardbreakathon helps orphans

...

"We've been involved with HALO for several years," Raytown Karate For Kids owner Tim Daniels said. "It's the only fundraiser we do at the school."

"It's a good opportunity for the kids to help others," he said. "One hundred percent of the money raised goes directly to the orphans. We participate in the whole cycle. We help send the materials for the orphans to do artwork; then we have an auction to sell the works to raise more funds. We're really excited about what HALO does."

* HALO Boardbreakathon Rescheduled *

We will be holding the HALO Boardbreakathon at our school on January 12th at 2:00 PM (after testing).

There is still time for you to sign up for this awesome event and for those of you who have already obtained donation pledges--now you have an extra month! Let's all do our best to raise funds for this great cause!

Translated letter form an orphan in India:

Dear Beloved Mr & Mrs. Daniels,

My name is Job Nathan. i am living in Ashirvad Home for the past 3 years.

I have 3 elder sisters and one younger sister. Two elder brothers and one younger brother. Before coming here I used worked in mango gardens plucking mangoes and to collect cashew nuts in the nearby agricultural lands. I also used to take care of sheep. During that time I was admitted into Ashirvad and i am now having good education. I am very thankful to God for giving us such a nice help. Just because of the kind help from people like you we are able to live like this. We are knowing God's love and and we are following it. I sincerely thank you for extending your support to orphan children. I pray that God should bless you and your family. So also I request you to pray for us.

A boy so long away

Job Nathan
