All the children are living in the FAMILY RENEW COMMUNITY (shelter) with their parents. If you want to be involved in this direct social action project, see us in the rear or the sanctuary after the Sunday Service and you can 'pick' a child. If you prefer not to shop but wish to donate cash, we can choose a child for you and we will do the shopping.
