Our sponsors and donors are often the only reason children in our program receive holiday gifts and for that, we are incredibly grateful — especially after an exceptionally difficult year for kids around the world.

After receiving photos and stories from our volunteer coordinators about how much the Christmas gifts you provided meant to children living in poverty, we wanted to share with you some of their heartfelt thanks for the gratitude you show through your sponsorships.

Thank you from New Mexico

“Even though shopping for the children in the Children Incorporated program became difficult due to the pandemic and lockdown on the Navajo Nation, we were able to have the kids order from our virtual book fair for the holidays. We also placed an order from Teach the Children Educational Supply Co. for educational board games for them to take home. We also ordered containers filled with school supplies they can use starting in January. Teach the Children is so awesome and helpful that they mark each container with the students’ names, and we don’t have to do much except distribute! The kids also received toys and a treat bag. All of these gifts will allow the children to spend safe quality time at home. We will also have our children on the program to shop at our small local Farmer’s Market for the holidays for food items.”

We are very grateful to our sponsors.

Wishing a Merry Christmas in Lebanon

“Dear Friends,

Greetings from Lebanon! We will never forget 2020, the year that has been and still is full of challenges in Lebanon and the world.

We are very thankful for all Father Andeweg Institute for the Deaf (FAID) friends and supporters who were so generous and did not hesitate to give FAID a helping hand in this difficult time. Through your generosity, FAID was able to support our students’ families with food parcels, hygiene items, voucher gifts to buy from the market and transportation allowance for the most-needy students. The most important support was the love and care towards FAID and its mission.

Despite the restrictions due to COVID-19, we have been able to offer a full timetable and lots of extracurricular activities, keeping our pupils learning, socializing and safe. We all had a chance to evaluate just what FAID means to each of us.

We are forever indebted to our wonderful staff that developed skills overnight to take on a high-quality home learning experience.”
