 - Improving lives thru potato peels in Ukraine - Kids are arriving at orphanage in Pacasmayo, Peru UKRAINE - Since our visit to Odessa Ukraine late last year, we have started a program to add nutrition to some of the state run orphanages in Odessa. We plan to add fruits, meats and vegetables to their diet. Recently an internaut was visited and the Director what she needed. She said she really needed a commercial potato peeler for her 150 children. They have access to lots of potatoes, but it takes a very long time to peel the potatoes by hand - especially when they serve potatoes at over half their meals. A visiting group from North America donated over half the cost of this commercial peeler. Horizons Foundation was fortunate to be asked to donate the rest of the funds. PERU - The orphanage now has 2 newborns and at least 10 more children including the abused 13 year old mother of one of the babies in the orphanage. Most of the girls above the age of 9 have been sexually abused and present various health problems. But, now they are safe!  When the Director of the orphanage received the accumulated donations from the micro-entrepreneurs, she was surprised by the hundreds of dollars they had given for orphanage support. Of course, this is the reason our micro lending company exists. We love to help families build a better standard of living, but more importantly, we are excited by how generous the Peruvian entrepreneurs are in supporting their local churches and the orphanage thru donations of part of their profits. THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROUS SUPPORT - YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN In His Service, Al and Charlotte Lockhart Horizons Foundation Donations may be sent to: PO Box 6022St Charles MO 63302 Al Lockhart Past Newsletters: 30 November 2003 31 December 2003 01 January 2004 01 February 2004 01 March 2004 01 April 2004 31 May 2004 30 June 2004 01 July 2004 01 August 2004 30 September 2004 31 October 2004 30 November 2004 31 December 2004 31 January 2005 28 February 2005 31 March 2005 02 May 2005 02 July 2005 31 August 2005 11 October 2005 18 December 2005 02 April 2006 30 June 2006 31 October 2006 |
