What does it mean to live a life that makes a difference? And how can you live a life that makes a difference?
If you are like most people you will have asked yourself this question a couple of times. But it is such a big question! What can you do to make a difference in a world that is full of so much evil?
The thing is, everyone is different, and God has different plans for all of us to live a life that makes a difference. This site that I am presenting to you is one way I have found to make a difference by very practical means.
You see, there are over 150 million children in the world today without parental care. If that is not something that needs to be made different, then I don't know what is. At the end of 2011 I was confronted with this issue. But God is good. He shows you the problem and then leads you to how you can be a part of the solution. Not long after this I heard about Orphans Aid International.
Orphans Aid International is a non-profit organization who rescues orphaned and abandoned children and gives them a loving home. Especially in countries like Russia, Romania, and India there is no law set up to protect the abandoned children. They might get put in hospital where they eventually become insane from lack of affection. Or they become hardened criminals from growing up on the streets. Neither of these options is a good one, and these statistics need to be changed. Orphans Aid International is doing their part to change these statistics.
When I heard about Orphans Aid International I wanted to join with them to help make a difference, but there is only so much one can do on their own. That is when God gave me the idea of fundraising. But not just any old fundraising. Since I found out about them creative ideas have been popping into my head of ways I can help others. This site is to give you a way to help others and also get something cool out of it.
On this site I will display the things I am selling to fundraise. Unfortunately I have only figured out how to sell them to New Zealanders with Internet Banking, but maybe the day will come when other countries currency will work to. But if you are from another country, feel free to have a browse and be inspired to see how you can make a difference and fundraise too.
There are cards for sale, hairclips, and more coming soon.
Or if you would just like to make a donation, feel free to go to www.orphansaidinternational.org and donate directly to them.
