A Gift from the Heart...

Instead of giving the usual candy and flowers to one another, Jeff and I will be donating to the Global Orphan Team. If you are at a loss of what to do for Valentine's Day... or you need a Valentine, please consider donating, too!

CLICK HERE FOR THEIR SITE

Taken from The Global Orphan Team's Site:

In lieu of chocolate and candy hearts this Valentine’s day, why not donate to a worthy cause and brighten the day of a child?
By making a small donation (tax deductible) to Global Orphan Team beginning immediately through February 14, 2009, you will be sending a Valentine heart to the children of “Project Valentina.” The hearts will include your name and will have “YOU ARE LOVED!” printed on them as well.
At the end of the month, we will update you with pictures of the children who receive your hearts. We hope to do things like this often to reinforce our commitment to our children. We want to be “present” in the orphanages we have chosen to support as much as possible and we think this is a great way to do that. We want our children to feel our love for them consistently, not just when we are able to travel to Guatemala to see them.
For a $25 donation, we will send a “Valentina” heart on your behalf (hearts will be cut from 8×10 paper so you have an idea of the size), and don’t forget, you will receive an update at the end of the month full of pictures of the precious children who enjoyed your Valentines!
Would you help us spread the word? We will accept donations through our website until February 14th for this project as well.
Click on the donate page to submit your donation and help us cover the walls in BIG RED HEARTS!

Please feel free to post a link to your blogs or donate your facebook status for a day and post the link there! :-) I am hoping for our camera to be fixed here soon, so you can get updates of our kids in action!

Thanks,
