Encourage Compassion

We are thrilled to introduce you to a fellow sponsor who joined the Acenda family last year. Pam Fisher is a busy mom of four little ones who not only has a generous heart, but incredible motivation to make a difference in the lives of foster children half way around the world.

Pam and her husband had been looking for ways to make a difference in the world. Early 2013 they made a goal to each find one worthy organization to support. "I looked and looked and certainly saw lots of opportunities to help. But really wanting to help oversees, and really wanting to know that the money I gave was going straight to those in need without a lot of overhead costs, I still hadn't found the right opportunity after a few months," Pam says. She heard about Acenda from a friend, and after doing a little research into Acenda's foster care program in Mozambique, she knew she had found her program to help. As a self proclaimed design junkie, Pam decided to open an Etsy shop named, "Encourage Compassion" where she sells all types of original and creative invitations, announcements, and art prints.

 

All the money she raises from her Etsy shop she donates to Acenda, where 100% of donations goes straight to the foster children. We are grateful for Pam and all our sponsors for opening up their hearts and their busy schedules for these sweet children in Africa.

 

Please feel free to visit Pam's online shop and encourage your friends to do the same. You never know when sharing with a friend the good news of Acenda will spread more charity!

We received word last week from Iris Domingos, the Mozambican Project Coordinator, that all the children and doing well. They are all attending school and being well cared for by their foster families.

Each and every donation no matter how small, makes a big impact in a child's life.

We hope we can count on your continued support this year!
