Holiday Gift Ideas:-)

As you all know (or at least we hope you do from reading our blog:-) Cory and I have been volunteering at the Maitreya School in Bodgaya, India. From volunteering there and visiting the villages where the children live we have seen the small miracles that the school is able to do for the kids. It gives them uniforms, which in some cases is the only outfit that they own, it provides them breakfast and lunch, pens, notebooks, paper, an education and most of all gives these children and the people around them hope. Hope that one day things will change; that one day they will be able to live in a house made out of bricks; hope that they will be able to defy the caste system and change their lives for the better. That one day things will be easier.

So if any of you have someone that you would like to get a gift for this holiday season and not quite sure what to get them, please consider sponsoring a child at the Maitreya School for only $20/month or $240/year, BUT any amount will be used for a worthy cause. If you are interested in making a donation or getting more information the website is : http://www.maitreyaproject.org/en/education/index.html

Thank you for your consideration,
Kristin and Cory
