Grace

Thank you to all who donated either underwear or money for underwear for the children in orphanages in Liberia, West Africa. Here is an update on what was donated to help Ashley fulfill her pledge.

Grace Covenant Church – 117 pairs of underwear and $65.00 cash!!

All pledges total – 753 pairs of underwear!

All those undies are currently on a shipping container somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean right now, and are scheduled to arrive in Monrovia sometime in the middle of April. Ashley left last Sunday to fly to Monrovia to work for six months, so she will meet the container when it arrives.

If you are interested in following up to see pictures of your donations in the hands of their recipients, feel free to check out Ashley’s blog at http://loveinliberia.blogspot.com/ or her mission organization, Orphan Relief and Rescue http://www.sharingonline.org/orphan-relief/blog/ .

Ashley’s pledge was so successful (thanks in large part to you) that it made the “Success Stories” page of Pledgebanks, the group through which she set this all up. Check it out! http://www.pledgebank.com/success
