Give a little more.

Merry Christmas everyone!

For this blog post I want to ask something of all my supporters, friends and family at home. This is the month of giving. Right now everyone is rushing around to the stores buying presents, baking cookies, decorating their Christmas tree, etc. I love all of it. I love putting up decorations, baking cookies, singing Christmas songs, the whole nine yards. For me, Christmas has a lot to do with family, giving, and a time to remember and reflect that our savior was born.

This Christmas I'm learning more. While we are so caught up in our Christmas cheer, we forget about the people who don't have the luxury or opportunity to be able to give their children a future or education, let alone a tree full of presents. Over here in Cambodia I'm surrounded by a heavy destitution, and have been given a chance to make a difference, but I need your help.

First steps preschool will give children an opportunity that they will never have again. It gives them a chance to learn freely. Learn more than just the basic ABC's. It gives them a chance to learn hygiene, structure, social skills, and the list goes on and on.

Starting in January I'll be teaching a new curriculum, making changes, and setting into motion a new schedule. I need help. I need support for the preschool. I need tables, chairs, supplies, cabinets, etc. I'm starting the whole thing from the ground up, and I can't do it alone.

So I'm asking you to give a little more; help pour into the futures of these kids. Help make a difference in the community here. In America it's no question that your kid will be given an education, it's no question that your child will be given a chance. Here, this is a once in a life time chance for these little guys. If you can find it in your heart to help through support, prayer, or encouragement, the smallest thing goes a long way.

This is the link to the ministry. If you want to give, donate to the ministry itself, and designate it to the preschool.

Please open your hearts just a bit more, and let some love pour out. Help plant some seeds over here. Start the new year off with a new resolution to help. I'm wishing you all the merriest Christmas and a Happy New Year.
