Shirts for Shoes

Today is a sad day. I can hardly watch CNN without crying at the coverage of the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti. Surely this disaster will create even more orphans in a country that has already had numerous issues with adequate orphan care.
It is a sad, sad day.

Tomorrow offers the promise of hope in a great opportunity to reach out to orphans - in this case Ethiopian orphans. Tom Davis and Children's HopeChest will launch a great fundraising project tomorrow, just in time for Valentine's Day. It's called Shirts for Shoes. For the purchase of a $25 shirt, an Ethiopian orphan will receive a shirt and a pair of shoes. You can read more about this great new program at My Crazy Adoption. I know what I want for Valentine's Day.

Also, here are two new videos from Tom Davis that highlight the urgent need for orphan care. The first is a collection of photography from Tom Davis, Hannah Leman and Simon Scionka. The second is a powerful illustration of why orphan care needs to be on the top of all of our agendas as Christians.
