 Dear Friends,
I am so excited by the interest and enthusiasm that everyone shared at our Afghanistan Cultural Event on Sunday. It is amazing the difference that all of us can make when we join together with our creativity and team spirit! The Afghan children are so excited about learning and I am thankful through our partnership that we can bring encouragement! |

Host an Event in your home! 
Many thanks to Maryam Quadrat for hosting our April cultural event for Afghanistan. Please consider hosting an event by gathering your friends so we can extend our network of great hearts for Afghanistan.
Be creative, or not. Serve Afghan appetizers or have a Victorian Tea. Share stories, information, products from Afghanistan, or have Juliana share a power point presentation. Let's bring people together creating a diverse network of people interested in helping the children of Afghanistan. Make a difference!
International Orphan Care wants to reach out to as many people as we can, and by hosting an event, YOU can help accomplish this goal. | |
Thank you for your consideration in joining the mission of International Orphan Care to create a family-like environment where the pain and suffering of orphan children can be exchanged for HOPE.
Sincerely,
Juliana Ditty
