Kids with Good Friend

 Good Friend is a program we support in Congo where we send representatives to homes where orphaned children are living with extended family. This program helps them to have the food and medicine and counseling they need. Some of these children have one parent alive and are just living in really harsh conditions because of the lack of money available to the family. Good Friend delivers food weekly to these children and then our representative, Brice, makes house calls to make sure they are receiving the food and are getting healthier. Here is a note we received in our email from our representative with Good Friend: "The children are saying "thank you" 53 times to Africa Imports!! Christian, the one in front with the 2 fingers raised is from Central African Republic. They are refugees here. His mom died and he lives with his dad. Again the living conditions intolerable but they survive. He is not in school, his father does not see the importance. Thanks Africa Imports, thank you so much for being able to provide some relief to these kids that are hurting." Please keep these children in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you for helping us to support her. Remember that a percentage of purchase is used towards helping support children like her. To find out more about what we do in Africa, Click Here.
