“Hand-me-down” Program

“Hand-me-downs” from Japan are finding a new home 3,000 km away in the Philippines. In Japan, barely used clothing, toys, and school supplies are often thrown away, since most families only have one child. FEBInternational missionaries, Rob and Kathryn Fleming, have established a program whereby boxes of children's clothes and toys are sent to Faith Academy in the Philippines. Personnel and students from Faith then distribute these items to street children, and to the thousands of “squatter” families living in shacks within walking distance of the school.

The school has a weekly outreach to squatter children, called All for Jesus, which provides the evangelistic touch of love applied practically through the distribution of these needed items. Send a box of love through your contribution.

The cost of shipping one large box of used children's items to the Philippines is approximately $80 a box. (Submitted by: Rob and Kathryn Fleming)
