We were grateful to be part of the Created for Care conference last weekend, outside of Atlanta. The response to "Mommy's Heart Went POP!" was exciting! What Created for Care is about:
"Throughout the journey, different needs arise–some times, we just don’t know where to start–and other times we are just tired from all that is required in these callings filled with new approaches, lots of healing and much required extra love. While your hearts have been called to care, YOU were also created to be cared FOR. We want to not only support these families by equipping them with adoption resources, but most importantly provide resources to encourage them in their walks with their Heavenly Father who led them to this amazing calling."

An Uncle and Aunt Give in Honor of their Adopted Nephew
Moved by the Rwandan adoption of their brother and sister-in-law's son, an uncle and aunt decided to give a generous donation to 4-more. They requested that we find a location in the place of birth of their nephew. Here is one of the places (of 2) that their gift will impact:
The project is creating clean water and sanitation systems for a primary school which will serve 700 children. The Rwandan individuals involved in our second October clean water project in Butare have us humbled. The pastor of the church adjacent to the school is being a tremendous help. His church runs programs for the "at-risk" and orphaned children in the area, as well as giving assistance to widows and to women and children whose husbands/fathers are in prison. We are honored to be part of this amazing Rwandan-initiated ministry.
A 35,000 liter underground tank for drinking water is being constructed and their existing tank will move to a toilet area for hand washing stations. Sinks currently do not exist at the school.
At this point, one of our partners will move from Kigali to Butare and stay through the end of the project - which should be approximately 3 more weeks. Some families with children at the school are housing the technicians as a way of contributing to the project.
