Dec 11, 2011 - I showed this video at church today and at the end everyone had tears in their eyes. This video just changed the lives of 8 teenage girls in my class. Also today I talked to a Welfare missionary sister. She helps co-ordinate church involvement in projects like this. The church partners with many organisations around the world to do good, most we never hear about. Everyone who has donated to the LDS Humanitarian Fund has contributed to this. I know I can donate more.
Feb 17, 2011 - How does one become involved in such a Great Work? Look around your community, the need is there. There is a child that awaits our " Great Works".
It can and will be fulfilling, bring a smile to a little face.
Remember why you're here.
Oct 27, 2010 - We forget how blessed we are here in the US. Its heartbreaking that there are so many children in poorer countries who don't have even the most basic of their needs fulfilled. Thank goodness there are still organizations like the LDS church that are truly committed to relieving suffering around the world. Gives me hope for humanity.
Aug 15, 2010 - When people cooperate to give a little boy a simple football he always wanted to have, in this very moment they are no more Catholics or Mormons but simply children of our Heavenly Father.
May 9, 2010 - What a great video! It makes me so happy to see wonderful, loving people like this couple. They make me want to be a better person. I can't wait to watch this with my 6-yr-old who sometimes struggles to donate her old toys or clothes to DI. Now I can show her where it might go! Thank you so much for this wonderful, inspiring video.
Apr 23, 2010 - Praise God! It is all about doing the Lord's work and loving those like these sweet kids. I love when the denominational or religious walls come down and we all just work together in the name of Christ no matter what group or background, to love those who may have never known God's love otherwise.
Apr 12, 2010 - What a beautiful story - the pastor and his wife have given us all an example to follow of life long Christian service. "For inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."
