Copy of Support Letter!

Here is a little history of why we created this blog! It's a portion of my support letter!

My name is Samantha Ryse. I am a sixteen year old junior. It has always been on my heart to help other people in suffering. In November of 2007, I learned about an opportunity to travel to Africa with my youth group at Superstition Springs Community Church in Gilbert, Arizona. I knew then that this was finally my chance to help make the changes I wanted to see in my world.

Our church sponsors the Chiwengo tribe in Malawi, Africa. We contacted Children of the Nations to see if there was anything more we could do to help. Currently our church makes several trips a year to help build and repair homes and buildings, provide medical care and supplies, and show love to the many kids orphaned by AIDS. Our youth group has a great opportunity to go and work with one of the orphanages in June.

Yes!

Oh Yea! I think we're getting the hang of this blogging thing! Check out the links! Children of the Nations is the organization hosting our youth group! Superstition Springs Community Church is our home church and the other two links will give some interesting info about Africa and Malawi!
