Unsung Heros
More than those in leadership. More than those whose names are noted. More than any one individual.
Our team consists of hundreds of people throughout the US that find themselves stepping out to help children and widows in need in Mynamar and throughout the world. Their individual dedication to caring for others in need is what makes this world work. Seeing their immense love for others is truly a blessing here as much as it is there.
