GIFTS - Missions of Hope

MINISTRY GIFTS

This gift catalogue has been designed to make it easier for you to determine where to direct your gift and to illustrate for you how your gift will be put to practical use for the care of the widows and orphans. In some cases, we have given you total costs per person or per item. In other cases, we have given you a partial cost to show you that your gift is still important no matter what the amount.

If you would like to give a gift to a loved one or give a gift in memory of a loved one, please send us an email to kerichojoy{at}gmail{dot}com with the following information: your gift amount, the name and city/town of the person you are gifting, birth and death information if it is a gift in memoriam, and any personal information you desire (no addresses, or phone numbers please). We will then publish this information & gift in a future blog as our way of saying "Thank you/Karibu".

Thank you for considering the items in this gift catalogue. If you have any particular questions, kindly send an email to the above address and we will return your mail as soon as possible.
