147 Million Orphans
I am not sure exactly how many orphans there are in the world right now. Some organizations count an orphan as a vulnerable child - a child without two living parents. Sometimes, they are just hard to count. Whatever the number is, there are too many people growing up without proper care. 147 Million Orphans is an organization that fund raises for orphan care. It also gives some of its proceeds to families raising money to adopt. They sell bags, T-shirts, mugs, and hats. They also have jewelry made in Uganda, Haiti, and Honduras.
We have exchanged a few emails. The women who run 147 Million Orphans are adoptive moms themselves. They have been super nice. They understand this waiting time well and have expressed great compassion. Check them, and their work, out, click on the photo below.
