THANK YOU!

Your generous support of Project Thrive  means a great deal to our team (who always have these kids in our hearts), but to the many orphaned and street  children of impoverished nations, your contribution will add up to life-changing, even life-saving improvements.  How do we express enough thanks?

 Ample food, clothing and supplies will add up to far more than comfort.  A safe home is a dream some can’t even imagine yet… but  we can... and you can.  Your donation says so.  And that is what I am so grateful for.  It’s a big deal that you are sharing in the creation of tremendous opportunities for these kids.  I wish you could go with me, see their gentle smiles, their eager faces-- their gratitude.  Imagine, these children being offered a college education.  Imagine their homes being more self-sustaining!  Imagine a model that others can follow. Your donation is helping lay the foundation for those things as well.  From Days to Girls, to crops, livestock and safety programs, and microfranchises, you are creating cascades of improvements in the lives of orphans and vulnerable children.

The graduates of the program will go into the world knowing that they are important citizens of the world who can make a difference.  Imagine their new campus… these children will thrive!  The slums of the world will be improved in significant ways, transformed forever-- in part thanks to you, because you were there from the very beginning. 

See, I told you. Thanks doesn’t quite cover it, does it?  Email us at info@clayforearth.org  if you would like our occasional updates. I’ll keep in touch.  Please stay involved.  We need you. In the meantime, you have my…  

Deepest Gratitude,

Celeste Mergens
