Going International!

The GFWC Grundy Woman's Club has gone "International".   As most of you are aware, GFWC has an International program.  As a member of the GFWC our small rural club has struggled with this program.  We have contributed to Heifer International, a very worthy cause, and also to Operation Smile, another worthy cause, but have lacked an up close and personal connection.

This year at our March meeting we voted to once again contribute to Heifer International and Operation Smile, but we also voted  for something a little different.  Lisa Tyre "VOLUNTEERED", as in arm twisted behind the back, to become a Chairman for the International committee.  She was planning to travel to Bangalore India and visit with Tammy Ma, and her 48 children.  Yes, I said 48....  Tammy Ma runs K-Homes, a place of refuge for children with no hope.  Her vision is clear:

The ultimate and absolute purpose of K- homes is to provide these children with loving care in the context of family, while consistently pointing them to the cross of Christ. Our vision is to raise up children radically committed to Jesus Christ, who, empowered by His Holy Spirit, will spread the good news and transform this region of the world!

The children that come to Tammy Ma are orphaned or have at least one parent who is sick or that cannot take care of their child.  They come from a  world of hopelessness and at K-Homes they are are transformed.

The Club decided to help K-Homes and presented Lisa with a $200.00 check to take to Tammy Ma when she went to India.  While two hundred is not a "HUGE" amount of money the check certainly was.

I am sure that K-Homes appreciated the money and will put it to good use.  If in the future Lisa again travels to India, I'm sure she would like an even "LARGER" check.
