{Day 185 (on the 9th day of Christmas)}

“On the ninth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, nine ladies dancing.”

When I started this project I had no one in mind for any of the days, but very soon after I began praying that a ballet dancer would come along for this day.  I’m so grateful to be able to say that Clairen was willing to participate in this project.  I was thrilled that she wanted to meet with me and do her “homework” as well.  Yes, not only is she beautiful and elegant but she is also smart and wanted to be informed about what she would be contributing to.  After I assured her that 100% of the donations went directly to the orphans and other important facts, such as each of  the church orphanages are really homes that nurture the children, she happily agreed to give of her time.

Clairen thank you for not only bringing more grace and elegance to this project but also for being the type of woman that wants to give her best and help others.  You are changing lives by raising funds for the sweet children in India!

UPDATE!!!!! $43,459.90  😀 😀 😀    Will you please give $10 dollars today to help us get one step closer to our goal?  How can you resist those cute little faces?!?!
