Our BRAND NEW Tree Child Store opened a month ago in Charlestown Square and we are delighted to have been inundated with hand written messages from the children shopping there. These drawings and adorable notes are collected and sent to our sponsor children in India. We wish we could put them all up here but there are so many! that we could only choose a few.
The Touch of Love program provides education, food, clean water and access to medical and dental facilities for children living in dire poverty. Wayne and Vicki Galler oversee these sponsorships around the world and report back to Tree of Life so we feel connected to our sponsored children and we know our money is making a real difference.
In India right now we sponsor 110 children in different areas through Maharashtra State. Once these sponsored children graduate and have passed their college entrance exams, we extend sponsorship to new deserving children. Each of the Tree of Life stores takes responsibility for a number of children. Most recently, Tree of Life has also begun assisting 8 Haitian orphans in the Dominican Republic.
