In December we sent a donation to Homoródújfalu for the 21 students who are benefitting from our Village Education Fund. We were only able to send about 25% of what we have raised in the past! Your new ideas and interest are solicited on how to best support our partners. Contact with Anne Greenwood or Stephanie Ann Blythe for more information.
