Hi all,
THANK YOU for your support for the safe houses and orphanages here in Hungary for Christmas. What a huge impact!

250 Candy Bags - Delivered to 9 different safe houses and orphanages:



The "assemblers"



Here are some pictures from the Kőszeg orphanage. Our FJ Forum sponsored 5 of the 96 orphans here:

Passing out the gifts (calling up each of the 96 children BY NAME):









Gifts donated by our very own... The FJ Forum sponsored all 15 children at a safe house here in Pápa, Hungary. It was extremely difficult to get pictures of each child, but here are a few.

Thanks again for doing this Mark, your story is one of courage and to continue to assist as you do makes you a great man. It is an honor to help you help others as you do and hopefully at some point our paths will cross so that I may shake your had for all you have done, in serving our country to your continued efforts today.

Thank you for allow me, and the rest of us here, to help you help others.

I have a big smile on my face and thank you for sharing the experience with us.

Humbly, Randy - RPM

Heart warming.

Thanks for doing this, my contribution was insignificant in contrast to your obvious generosity.  I am humbled.

As I read this to my wife, she said, "Everyone's drop in the bucket makes the bucket full."

Thanks again to everyone involved that made this a success! :good2:

Update:
Just this week we got this picture and letter from the woman who's baby girl was sponsored by FJmonkey. The difference we all made will be remembered for a long, long time. Thank you!

That is very special. Everyone that contributed to the orphans should feel like this response is just for them. Hard to believe that such a small contribution provided such a large reward, to both the children and the ones giving... Thanks Mark.
