Special Thanks

In our December 2008 newsletter, we made reference to a 4th and 5th grade Sunday School class from First Baptist Church in Palmetto, Florida. They collected, organized, and then shipped more than 70 Christmas gifts to needy children involved with the Sumpango Church and Manna Feeding Center. The presents were very thoughtful and included such things as toys, schools supplies, puzzles, candy, and then some toothbrushes and toothpaste.

We would like to say a big THANKS to Jeremy and Sheila Evans and their class! We truly appreciate their kindness! The Sumpango children were delighted to receive the gifts. Below you will find a few pictures of the kids with their smiling faces and their presents in hand.
