The total this morning sits at $5,504!

Closing time for the giveaway is midnight tonight. Which is about 2pm over there and Aaron should be just arriving at the children’s home.
I am amazed that this has happened, and that so much has [...]
You did this.
You made this possible.
Thanks to your generosity in December we were able to send enough money for all of the children to have beds, and warm clothes and new shoes.
This wouldn’t have happened without you, your care, your partnership. Without you there is no Charis Project.
Thank-you for everything.
We’re looking forward to some really [...]
Some of you have asked us if there is something extra you could do this Christmas for the kids in the Charis Home. So we asked Chala what they need.

We together are the champions.

Once Chala fought with the Shan State Army to defend innocent villagers against the Burmese army that was intent on enslaving and killing them. Now he has about 40 children that he is struggling to keep alive. He found them all in the jungle, where he once ran and hid himself before crossing the border [...]
