			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At River&#8217;s Promise, our true joy is to bring hope to orphans!  Whether we do this through giving a hug, sending an orphan to school, or buying them a bed to sleep in, our goal is to promote hope in the life of an orphan every chance we can.  Giving hope, though, is not a one person job. It is for that very reason why we have Partners of Hope.</p>
<p>A Partner of Hope with River&#8217;s Promise is someone who gives hope to an orphan in our program through a simple donation.  You can become a Partner of Hope right now for as little as $1.93 per week.  That&#8217;s it!  That&#8217;s all it takes to send an orphan to school for one week and to be a Partner of Hope for an orphaned child!  </p>
<p>Click the &#8220;Donate&#8221; button now and become a partner of hope!</p>
<p>PS &#8211; Being a partner of hope is not a somber or lifeless act of giving! See what doors opened for Adam once he became a Partner of Hope!  <a href="http://vimeo.com/34965930">CLICK HERE!</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As Christmas quickly approaches, we have been hearing from more and more individuals and families about how they can sponsor an orphan this Christmas season.  This year, many people are choosing to forgo opulent gifts and presents for their already cluttered households.  Instead, they are choosing to make an impact in the life of an orphan in Rwanda.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the last year, we at River&#8217;s Promise have been working with a group of orphans that are survivors of the 1994 Rwandan Genocide.  For those of you that don&#8217;t know, during the 100 day genocide, over 1,000,000 people were killed.  This means that for each day of the Genocide, roughly 10,000 men, women, and children were ruthlessly murdered.</p>
<p>We have had the opportunity to partner with a group of children who survived the 1994 Genocide.  For many of them, they are the only living survivors in their families.  No fathers.  No mothers.  No aunts or uncles.  No brothers or sisters.  Their stories of loss are truly some of the most heart wrenching stories we have ever heard.</p>
<p>We are proud to say that these Genocide Survivor Orphans are now available for monthly sponsorship in our program!  For only $35 per month you will bring the Hope of an education, health care, and other basic amenities to an orphan in Rwanda!</p>
<p>Your sponsorship will also provide much needed grief counseling to address the emotional needs of these children!</p>
<p>For information on sponsoring these children, simply visit <a href="http://www.riverspromise.com/sponsor">www.RiversPromise.com/sponsor</a></p>
