Happy Birthday to Joud!Our very special sponsor child, Joud, is celebrating her birthday next month! Our Church School children were busy this week making beautiful and thoughtful birthday cards for Joud. These cards will be sent to the Compassion Canada office, where they will be scanned to the local Compassion Centre in Haiti. There they will be translated into Creole for her and she will get to enjoy the birthday greetings until the original cards and photos arrive. What a wonderful way to show our love for Joud! Happy Birthday, Joud! |
