FACE OF A CHILD “ACTIVEWEAR” 2010

The Face of a Child Project is a unique customized project that meets the needs of children in government orphanages.  Each year the scope of the project changes to address different needs such as winter coats, shoes, school supplies, backpacks, sweatsuits, etc. Each child receives a gift with his/her picture attached to it.  Families, groups, individuals, churches, clubs, hospitals, and businesses participate in the Face of  a Child Project to improve the lives of children in government orphanages and impoverished villages.    For those of you interested in participating in the 2010 project, below is the necessary information to get you started.  Pictures are already available and you may request them today, by phone, mail, or email.  Your heart will be filled with joy knowing that by participating in the Face of a Child project in 2010 you will be blessing a child in Moldova with much-needed items.   Below is all the information concerning this year’s project.  Our staff will make every effort to accommodate your gender and age specific requests (especially  if you request your pictures early) but please be aware that this is based on availability.
