Lift Off! 40 Days of Sacrifice - Day 27
Day 27: Save the Children
Deuteronomy 24:19
When you reap your harvest in your field and have forgotten a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it; it shall be for the alien, for the orphan, and for the widow, in order that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
Save the Children invests in childhood – every day, in times of crisis and for our future. In the United States and around the world, we give children a healthy start, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. By transforming children's lives now, we change the course of their future and ours.
Each and every day, Syria’s children are seeing horrors no child should see and suffering emotional wounds that may never heal. One of these children is 5-year-old Amena.* To escape the nightmares of life in Syria, Amena and her family fled their home and attempted to cross the Mediterranean Sea. A terrible risk, but Amena’s desperate father had no other choice to save his children. (savethechildren.org)
