Gardner Kids Prepare Gifts for Orphans

All four of Deborah Gardner’s kids helped prepare gifts for the orphans their mother was going to visit when she went to Bulgaria this Spring. Working with their mother, they stuck messages like "We care about you!" or "Don't ever give up!" onto dozens of packs of gum which Deborah handed out to orphans at 3 orphanages. They also put those messages on lip glosses, and about 55 journals. In the picture on the right you will also see some stuffed animals they bought and packed into the hospital kits for sick children. Pictured are Sophia, Luke, Maya and Hannah. Above right: two of the Bulgarian girls who received gum.
