Our good friends, Chris and Harry, sent us a precious gift that captures the Christmas spirit but does much more. As a young man, Harry volunteered in Africa for Lalmba Association. Each year, Harry makes a donation and we get a gift made by the people who benefit from the donations. This year's gift is handmade from native grasses and banana leaves by the villagers. It took them two years to make the sets.
Lalmba means a place of hope and brings American doctors and nurses to provide medical care for some of the poorest people in the world. Lalmba also cares for 1,576 orphans, many of whom are AIDS orphans.
If you'd like to make a donation or to find out if any of these nativity sets are still available, you can contact Hugh & Marty Downey at Lalmba@aol.com.
