60 AIDS orphans sponsored

Good News today! WorldHope Corps, Inc., committed itself to support 60 orphans and abandoned children affected by AIDS in Malawi on a monthly bases. Through a grant of $10,000 from the United Methodist Global AIDS Fund, and with the help of many friends of Malawi who will continue to contribute to the need, we can send $1,000/month to the HopeHome program of Mzuzu Circuit United Methodist Church in Mzuzu, Malawi, which is caring for 60+ children.

And we will try to raise $1000/month beginning in January from Friends of Malawi. So, I will wire you $1500 next week to be used as follows: $1000 for October HopeHome expenses 300 from Bob Robinson to help Esnat Banda's surviving children 200 from Stacy Radmore for your church to use as you s
