Marshall Hope Run & Walk 2008 was a great success
 The
Marshall Hope Run & Walk 2008 was a huge success! Participation
rose from
89 runners and walkers last year, to 151 this year. Last year,
about $5,000 came in during the week of the race. This year,
approximately $8,000 was received in registration fees and
donations within a two-week period surrounding the event. We
thank all the participants, volunteers and supports for making
this event possible! In particular, we would like to thank
the following sponsors: Allred Veterinary Hospital, East Texas
Sports Center, the UPS Store, Maverick Finance, and the Grub
Sack. Please visit hoperun.org to

Working with orphanages in Eastern Europe and Asia in 2005 and
2006
 From
October 2005 through April 2006,
Sally Allred and Josh Perry completed a seven-month long journey across Russia,
China, Nepal, India, Thailand and the
Philippines.
The goal of this journey was to reach out beyond our borders
and beyond those where we had reached in the past, in order to
gain a greater awareness of orphans around the world. We worked
with various organizations to learn which of their
activities are effective at ministering to orphaned children.
During this trip, we also took as many opportunities as possible
to 'do
little
things with lots of love' to encourage
and show compassion to children who really deserve it.

Working with an Orphanage in Mombasa, Kenya
 Portion
for Orphans worked with children at St. Joseph House of Hope
in Mombasa Kenya.
By being there personally as well as raising funds for the orphanage,
Portion for Orphans left a lasting impact on children in Kenya.
Improving the facilities of the orphanage, supplying meals for
300 children,
teaching English
and
Math, providing
medical
care to critically ill children are just a few of the many ways
in which Portion for Orphans touched their lives.
