Warm Clothes to Orphan Children
With the winter upon us, it is important to remember those who are less fortunate than us, and may not be able to keep warm during these cold months.

These children ranged from 3 to 9 years old, and were provided with clothes to ensure that they stay warm during the winter time. Take a look at the photos of the distribution below!
