Packages Finally Make it to India!
Wanting to help children in an orphanage in India, local students helped KTKI pack 13 friendship boxes and brought them to the local post office. When they found out the shipping cost for the packages would be $1300, we didn’t know how we could afford it. Our High School volunteers pledged to raise the money to pay the shipping bill by running fundraisers at their schools, and with joy returned to the post office to send the boxes to India.

Children at the Mercy and Grace orphanage were elated to receive their student created picture book and school supplies and sent us a thank you message! (See picture above.)
