Greetings!
I am writing you today to introduce Serving Our World and myself, Michael Thomforde. I have been involved in reaching the needy all over the world for nearly 23 years, working with charities and organizations and have founded Serving Our World to further facilitate that work.
With all the epidemics and wars of our current world, many children are left without families or hope, but through Serving Our World we can give them the love and care they need.
While on a trip to Cambodia I was working with a group of children and
near the end of the day, as I began
to leave, all the children gathered around to say goodbye. I
learned that these boys and girls, from age’s 3 years old
and up, were from the streets and garbage dumps. Some had been
just wandering
around not sure of where to go or how to survive.
Why were these things on the minds of young children? These are
questions I have found in many parts of the world with those that
have lost loved ones or have been separated from family members.
But these little ones have not been put out because it was their
choice or that they wanted their freedom. This was a decision forced
on them because of their surroundings.
For some of them a land mine had made that decision or aids had
determined that they must now make a way for themselves. They were
not asked or were given a choice.
In that same group of children one little girl looked up into
my eyes and spoke to me in a whisper with her native tongue.
I asked
the interpreter what she had said and she repeated words I would
never forget, “She is asking if you would be like her father.” With
tears in all our eyes, I jump at the chance to become involved.
What a wonderful opportunity!
Today as I have traveled to these remote areas, I see many faces
asking the same question, “Who will be a father or mother
to me?” You today can help Serving Our World answer that
through your giving; you can reach the cry of the 99 million
orphans now asking that question.
Will you help us to reach out to those that are suffering from
lack of food and resources and bring hope to children across the
world? For this reason Serving Our World is mobilized and ready
to bring a solution with great impact. We want to continue to reach
into areas where the needs are the greatest.
Serving Our World is already in operation building Community Based Family Homes and working to unite extended family members within the community to care for and aid these lost and abandoned children, giving them new hope and quality care in rebuilding for the future. Serving Our World invites you to connect with us and becoming part of the solution by giving your support to this growing family.
We work in some of the neediest countries in Asia, yet it is our desire to expand wherever children are at risk and families are suffering. When disaster strikes people are desperate for an urgent response just to survive. Through your support of Serving Our World you are there. In joining you are extending your family by helping feed, clothe and rescue children, restoring futures that seem all but lost.
Will you help by becoming a Serving Our World family member?
Touching lives, Together.
