The bags will be distributed at the annual Mother's Day Celebration at the orphanage.  Last year at the celebration, we fed about 400 mothers and children and gave out more than 300 bags to the women.  We also helped sponsor a worship service in Spanish for the mothers, and a carnival for the kids. You Can Help!!!
