As announced during the last two meetings, I am again asking for your support to sponsor one of the children at $30 each. Could you please deposit the funds into our General account (we will transfer the total funds to project). 
Bendigo Bank:   BSB     633000 ~ Account:   130 984 073
 
Jim, Darryl & Shirley, Irish & myself are visiting Shepherds Arms in Bohol in early June where we will present the children with a gift of books for their soon to be built library.
 
With this sponsorship you are directly contributing to the well-being, education, and future of these precious children. The gift of books for their upcoming library is a wonderful way to nurture their minds and ignite their imaginations.

If you’d like to learn more or explore ways to support Shepherd’s Arms, you can visit their website: Shepherd’s Arms Foundation.

Once again, thank you for your compassion and commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of these children.
