GET YOUR PASSPORT READY

River’s Promise is planning a return trip to Rwanda and you are invited to travel with us.   The exact dates have not been finalized but the trip will provide about 7 days on the ground in Rwanda between Thanksgiving & Christmas.   On this trip, we will be delivering Christmas presents to orphans, doing a presentation to pay for 2011 school fees, seeing a harvest from our new agricultural project, meeting genocide orphans, visiting a Pygmy village.  There will be plenty of time to soak in the culture and experience the “Land of a Thousand Hills”.

The price including travel, meals, lodging, ground transportation is just around $3500. Jimmy Lakey will be on this trip so you will get to experience Rwanda through his eyes.    Email info@riverspromise.com to receive more information.

NEW: CHILD SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM

In addition to our general donation tracks that allow you to “Send An Orphan To School” and “Buy A Bed”, River’s Promise is excited to expand our giving opportunities to allow for “sponsorship” of an individual orphan in Rwanda.  By sponsoring a specific child, you will have the opportunity to correspond, watch their development, & even visit the child in Africa.

In addition to the financial support, sponsors are encouraged to communicate with their children and (if possible) visit them.  This will establish a lasting relationship that goes far beyond simply meeting physical needs.   This relationship will encourage the orphan and immeasurably grow their confidence and self-worth.   For just $35 per month, your sponsorship through River’s Promise will provide the following:

* Education (Sponsored children attend school as their school fees, school supplies, textbooks, & uniforms are provided.)

* Health care (Sponsored children are educated about hygiene and general health and have access to Doctor and medicines when sick)

* Social development (Sponsored children have access to sports, music, & native dancing.  Children with special emotional needs can receive counseling)

* Spiritual development (Children receive a Bible and are taught to live a life of hope & happiness through a relationship with Jesus Christ.)

Please consider sponsoring an orphan through “River’s Promise”.  Email info@RiversPromise.com for additional information.  A child is waiting on you.
