This past week, I met an amazing pastor from South Africa, Frank Harawa. His church works with orphans and the poor just outside of Durban. Right now he has several foster home for orphans that he runs and two schools as well. <\/p>\n
I sat down with Frank to talk about the orphan crisis in his country–to hear first hand about what the situation is like. This is the first of those videos where Pastor Frank is describing for us the impact that HIV\/AIDS has had on families in his country. <\/p>\n
This Christmas, Children’s HopeChest is teaming up with Pastor Frank in a special campaign we are calling The 12 Days of Christmas<\/strong>. I can’t tell you too much just yet, but basically 5 for 50<\/strong> is going around the world to support 12 different orphan outreach projects this Christmas. You’ll hear more later and have the opportunity to join us. We have $12,000 committed initially from 5 for 50. <\/strong>Through some of our friends and partners, we hope to multiply that to at least $60,000 before 12\/31\/07. More on that later…meet Pastor Frank:<\/p>\n
