Thinking of You
Dad: 100 Years of Celebrating Fathers
It was only one-hundred years ago, during a 1909 sermon in
WashingtonState
, that the idea of Father’s Day was
born. A young woman, inspired to find a new way to say “thank you” to a very
special man in her life, decided that the best way to show her gratitude was by
setting aside an entire day, Father’s Day! The country followed suit, and
now pays tribute to fathers with one special day set aside for Dad each year.
How will you say
“thank you” to Dad this year?
Why not tell that special Dad in your life “thank-you” with a
unique gift through an Africare Father’s Day Donation.
$5 can provide seeds, supplies and
training for a backyard garden, which can help meet the nutrition needs of
children orphaned by AIDS and their caregivers.
$10 can save a child’s life by
purchasing, delivering and educating a family about the proper use of a
mosquito net.
$100 can cover the school tuition
of one out-of-school youth for an entire year!
$500 can provide access to clean
water for 250 people with a spring catchment well!
Just like dad, you can change a life: Whether it’s $5, $500, or somewhere
in-between, your gift to dad this year will support Africare’s continued work
to improve the quality of life for the people in
Africa
!
