Appreciations ~ We Did It!!!   

In April the James R. Greenbaum, Jr. Family Foundation offered HHI an amazing opportunity to reach more children waiting to be held and women eager for training.  They challenged HHI to raise more funds in two months than we had in the last two years - and about 200 HHI supporters stepped up to the challenge and together we reached the goal at more than 104%!!!

 Thank You to the James R. Greenbaum Jr. Family Foundation!  

Many thanks to many others, including Journeys of the Heart Adoption Agency; Don & Roberta Peterson; the PA Golf Committee; HHI's Board for their hard work and outreach; the generosity of the community of Paoli Presbyterian Church; Watumull Fund; So Hum Foundation; Samuel D. Cozen Memorial Fund; Kevin J. Traynor, Sr. Family Foundation; Lucina; souk; G Diapers; MacKenzie Marketing Group; Pacific Blue Investments; dotSUB; and more than 100 other individuals, families, and groups that made this possible.

 Abundance - HHI Breaks Records in June!

 In June, HHI's two local trainers in India led five trainings for orphanage caregivers, foster parents, pre-school teachers and government workers - a total of 63 women who serve 625 orphaned and vulnerable children!!!  Imagine the difference they will make for these children, the changes possible for their families and in their communities?!?!
