We all realize we are in challenging economic time. We are doing all we know to make necessary adjustments. I am thankful for those faithful donors who have stood with us for all these years and continue to support the work of IFC.I think of the 35 children in our Children's Home that need love and support. We are working in a remote region but the effect of this economic fall does touch them. I think in some ways it hits them harder that others. When the income of a laborer is a dollar a day there is no room for extras. There are many families who live subsistence lifestyles like their parents and grandparents. They seem to look at one day at a time.
Our medical work is greatly needed for the poor because we provide free medical care. Last year 10,000 people came to our clinic asking for medical help. The help we can provide is because we have so many who have believed in our mission. We serve the lowest and least--from new born children to outcast lepers. It is a privilege and blessing to serve them. I thank all of you who have stood with us and continue to stand with us in these days. Hunger and suffering do not stop because the world markets are going crazy.
