Gwendolyn + Her Lemonade Stand

It's been an awfully busy time, and I have been so bad at updating our blog. It's especially long overdue because of one very special girl who we have wanted to highlight for a long time. We are delighted to introduce you to Gwendolyn who decided to host a lemonade stand this summer and give ALL of the proceeds to Bridges of Promise's general fund to assist us in raising money for orphan school tuitions. Some are big achievers at a very young age, and I think you'll understand why we feel Gwendolyn is going to grow up to be a big success in whatever vocation she chooses, because not only did she initiate the lemonade stand, she was inspired by the lavender in her back yard and just had to make "angel pillows" (as she named them) to sell as well. If these aren't the seeds of honing one's passions and harvesting their power to do well for others, well, we don't know what it is. Five year old Gwendolyn raised $50 that afternoon, and we are ever so grateful for her generous, creative, ambitious and compassionate heart. Thank you, for your donation!! The children in Rulenge are so lucky that there are little girls like you thousands of miles away giving your time and creative energy to help them go to school.
