The Least of These

Dear Friends,

It's Summer, it's hot, God is alive and well and Assist International is doing its best to meet the obligations and responsibilities that come our way. THE LEAST OF THESE (poorest and neediest) is our commitment and calling.

One of our greatest responsibilities is to the children of our world who have been abandoned and orphaned due to EXTREME POVERTY, ARMED CONFLICT, and/or HIV/AIDS. At the moment, Assist International is involved in FIVE SCHOOL PROJECTS: a kindergarten and a high school in Jinja, Uganda, an elementary School near the border of DR Congo and Uganda and an elementary School for the children of the Deraige IDP camp Darfur, Sudan.

In Romania, laser technology at Theranova is helping the lame to walk. Hundreds of children have received arms and legs and twisted bodies have been fitted with braces. At Caminul Felix Village, Assist International continues its commitment to the 160,000 orphaned and abandoned children of Romania. Not only does each of these children have a story, but now they share a common theme: Out of tragedy there is hope and future.

Can you understand what drives us? It's the opportunity to address the needs of the LEAST OF THESE. We feel privileged to be called to this work and honored that you partnered with us in it.
