WHEN YOu GIvE...You participate in the renewal of life in a broken world. In a world broken by extreme poverty, health pandemics

such as HIV and AIDS, civil conflict and other global issues, you are there to respond with Gods love and compassion.

Together with church partners around the world, CBM has the community presence, commitment

and local expertise to transform the lives of people most impacted by the pressing issues of our time.

Your purchase of gifts from the Hopeful Gifts for Change Catalogue will give marginalized children and families what they need for

fuller and healthier lives. The best way to honour your loved ones is to give someone in our world the gift of life.

My name is Jackson. I was six years old when mom died of AIDS leaving my sister and I as orphans. We went to live with grandma but she was too poor to take care of us. We lacked food, school fees, and the house was in very bad shape. I became so angry and frustrated and started to take drugs. I had no hope until CBM helped me with school fees. A mentor in this project had a big

impact on me. I became a Christian and joined his church. After graduating from high school, I worked hard to improve our small farm and eventually earned enough to go to university. I want to be a science teacher. I am excited about my faith and future life. I want to help other youth and am now the supervisor of the Orphans and Vulnerable Children project in my area of Rwanda.

KIdS CARE: CHRISTmAS dREAm

Hi, my name is Runu. I am 7 years old and so excited to be

going to school this year with my older sister, Jhunu.

She is 10 years old and wants to be a nurse so that she can

help people. She likes studying and playing Kabaddi its one

of our favourite games here in India. We are so happy that our

mom and dad agreed to send us to this new hostel so that we

can go to school. We dont have a school in our small village.

Being able to go to school is a dream come true for us.

Meet some of my new friends and learn more about my life

at the girls hostel. Order your free copy of the

CONfIdENCE & dIGNITY

T$200

My name is Hawa. I have a young daughter.

I fled war in Somalia where my mom was killed.

I too was shot but survived after months in the

hospital. People who helped me get to Kenya insisted that I marry a relative

to show appreciation for saving my life. A few months later, pregnant with

our child, my husband divorced me and remarried in Somalia.

I work hard, but it was not enough. We often skip meals. CBM has really

helped me in finding friendship, a group that I can belong to (self-help groups

in the slums of Nairobi), and skills training. I can make scarves and diras

(Somali dress). I get a share of the group business profits and am encouraged

to work harder and stay committed to my group. I am also so happy that

I got sponsored to do hairdressing and henna. God willing, one day I will

own a salon and make enough money to provide for my child comfortably.

I am especially grateful for my daughters scholarship.

If not for CBM, she would not have had this opportunity.

She loves school and likes to read.

God is my inspiration.

He always finds a way to help me.

I have come from nothing

and now have peace.
