ORPHAN GRAIN PROJECT BENEFIT 2010

What a blessing this benefit was! So many people working together to help bring about change for the Liberian people. THANK YOU to all that supported this benefit, and/or contributed to the 5400 dollars that was raised towards the work truck! Our total so far for the truck is around 8000! We had an evening that left no room for boredom!

This was a benefit with a little bit of everything, and something for everyone to enjoy....

Explaining the need and the importance for us all to be a part of the change in a country that is desperate for change. No contribution, whether money or time, is too small or too large to make a difference. We all have the power to help create change for these people.

This is just a fraction of the beautiful things donated for this benefit; we had such a wide array of baskets, gifts, wood crafts. etc. They were all so beautiful! There were a lot of "friendly" bidding wars going on....After I announced 1/2 hour left to the auction, they auction tables became an area of danger:)

Not to mention a delicious italian meal! I know, it was a Liberian Benefit, but without Liberian food. I was just trying to show mercy and compassion on our guests:)

Beautiful music!

And stuff for the kids, like funky hair. Well, actually some of the adults caught the spirit too!

Our plan is to make this an annual benefit; as to partner with the Liberian people in bringing about change in this country we will need more then a truck:) But, a work truck is essential in facilitating that change. Next benefit will hopefully be for the supplies for building the school, but time will tell. We are tentatively planning on the same time next year for our 2011 fall benefit, if you didn't make this one I would encourage you to plan for the 2011 benefit!
