Brantford, Ontario: April 2, 2008


Despite the less than ideal conditions, Paul and Daphne Might, representing Sleeping Children Around the World (www.scaw.org), visited St. Jude's Church on Sunday, Feb. 17.

SCAW provides bed kits for needy children in developing countries. Each kit contains: a small matress and pillow, a sheet, a blanket, clothing, a towel, school supplies and other locally needed items, such as mosquito nets and nail clippers.

St. Jude's Sunday School and congregation raised $1,200 plus an anonymous gift from the Brantford Community of $400 donated after seeing the previous article in The Expositor. This total of $1,600 will provide 40 kits for less fortunate children somewhere in the undeveloped countries of our world.
