donate $10 to love a child for Christmas == enter a drawing for some sweet stuff!!


 there are children all over this world that are barely living because they don't have the basic necessities.....clean drinking water, food, shoes, a family to care for them......

there is a village that was built after land was purchased by a group of local (South Dakotan) men.
 it was built to give children and families a hope....a life. 
it's called Hope Village....in West Africa. 
and there is an organization that was created to support this Hope Village. 
it's called Bridges of Hope 
 You can visit the official website here--pretty great page. you can see the real children, the real school buildings, the real water wells, etc.




BOH has built a school and orphan homes (foster care for children living as orphans). it has purchased livestock and a well for clean drinking water. the children are taught by teachers who are paid by Bridges of Hope. and now Brides of Hope is asking for sponsorship for 300 children in the surrounding area to be able to attend school in Hope Village. with all of this, BOH is trying to teach the people to be sustainable, so that some day soon they will be able to provide for themselves without soo much help from the states.....but that all takes time.

bridges of hope needs our hands.......
desperately.

here's our chance:




 i am now sitting on the board for Bridges of Hope.
 it is a organization that was started in the little town of Rapid City, SD. 
so i can tell you EXACTLY where your money will go,
 should you choose to contribute in some way. 
100% of monies are sent to Hope Village in West Africa to pay teachers' salaries, provide rice, purchase chickens, etc, and to support and sponsor the children there.
 my hope is to visit soon to see the progress in-person.




 you can go right to the Bridges of Hope page to enter your name (or someone you love) in the raffle.



 for every $10 raffle chance you purchase, your name will be entered once.



 so should you like to purchase MORE than 1 chance ($10 ea.),
you will be entered over and over again!!



there are soo many reasons i see a winning situation.



you will be blessing a child who has gone without.....
you will be pleasing yourself for giving a child a chance....a hope.
you will be entering yourself in a great giveaway.....
