Have you ever heard the term " a Cheerful Giver"? well the word Cheerful here comes from the original text "Halari" or Hilarious.... and that is just what it will be when Dominic and I get pied... oh ya Cindy too........ Hilarious...... But the most Hilarious part is that we have over 250 Orphans in Central Asia that are going to have the Christmas they could only dream of.... One orphanage has 150 kids.. they will have a special Christmas dinner and party complete with gifts for all the kids..... and a little something special for their caregivers as well....
At the same time, we are sponsoring a similar even with friends of PI at another orphanage the other side of the capital city for about 40 kids ... in fact the Dream agents there have been working on the Christmas presents for a few weeks now......
There are another 61 kids made up from 2 smaller orphanages as well as some families we have been supporting ...like Aygoola's 5 ... the little ones from the dump, and Ruslan in the house that "your the 1" bought .... These kids have quite the day planed for them. I thought you might be interested in the break down

But for those of you that did not get your donation in and still want to be a part of this.... we do have another 2000 kids in Central Asia in 8 other projects that our Dream Agents work with on a daily basis.... My be in a few years of this I will have the faith to try and raise the $20 000 to reach them all....OH dear what would I have to do for that challenge... Maybe shave my head and beard.... and have my back waxed.....OK so I have gone to far... erase that image ....lol.
PS. if you are wondering SKEEDKA is Russian for discount.... like in "Skeedka John"

This is so great! Thank you for helping in such a wonderful cause and helping us all realize the joy that comes from helping others .
What a wonderful thing-though he can't be with us, we know there will be a smile on his face!!
I just did my donation, on behalf of my little Isabella, just turned 3 who would have grown up at Tokmok orphanage if not for the blessing of IA. She can go to McDonald's any time she wants!(and she wants to go a lot! :) I will think of the kids at Tokmok. Isabella's Grandma has donated also! Can't wait to watch the progress and see the pie in faces!
Blessings, Melanie
John, I'm sure it's already come in, but I just gave the "last" $20 you said you needed in honor of my little Tokmok Princess, Ellie, who is so blessed to be in her forever home for Christmas this year. I cannot imagine what this Christmas will be like for those kids. I SO WISH I could be there to experience it -- it would be better than any gift anyone could ever give me, you know??? Thanks for giving us the opportunity to help in a small way and for all the work you do there!!
