This year has been a year of many social and economic changes, however what has remained the same is our commitment to helping underprivileged communities throughout the world become self reliance through empowerment.  I want to thank those of you who have contributed this past year to our projects, your generosity has been well received and is very much appreciated. Without YOU homeless kids in South Los Angeles may have not have had access to working computers and the internet. Without you, the youth of Mozambique would not be waiting our arrival in February 2009 where, because of your generosity, we will be implementing a livestock program which will yield educational benefits to many youth within the region for years to come. It all starts with a seed. You’ve planted it, we’ve watered it and together we will watch it grow. Marianne Williamson once said, “In every community there is work to be done. In every nation there are wounds to heal. In every heart there is the power to do it.” Thank you for using your heart when supporting Handing Out Hope, it is with that powerful gift we are able to get the work and the healing done in our world. Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones from your family at Handing Out Hope.
