Dear Friends,

Christmas at Orasul Sperantei--City of Hope, Romania--in Bucharest was a beautiful time of receiving and giving!  The "receiving" part came as our children were blessed with special gifts purchased just for them and brought over by a church group from Southern California. The "giving" part came when some of our staff and children went to sing Christmas carols and give love to children who are hospitalized with mental and physical handicaps.

It is so exciting to see how God's love has touched our children and staff and now, in return, they can give their love and care to others who are less fortunate than they. Thank you so much for your support! Your gifts and prayers are helping us impact many more children as we seek to expand our activities this year.

Thank you again for helping us truly "bring hope to the hurting children of Romania!"

Your Partner,
Angie Thomson
