This little girl, pictured Read more…

You are needed to keep the vision alive You may have noticed in this Que Pasa the little graphic that states, “Now more than ever.” “What does it mean?’ you may be wondering. In a world in chaos… This is the “Now” in which these children live. And sadly, with all the modern advances in medicine, technology, transportation, and so-called “enlightenment,” the world is not a better place to live for orphan children. And as Read more…

By Rick Bowes Not long ago my world began to change significantly. I couldn’t see as well as I could in the past. I was having trouble driving at night. I was having trouble recognizing people from across the room. I was having trouble reading the fine print. I had to admit that my vision was dimming. When I sought medical help the diagnosis came back, “cataracts.” At first, I said to myself, “How can Read more…

By Rick Bowes The other day someone mentioned how grateful they were that our donors were “constants” in the lives of our ICC kids. That short comment about “constants” brought to mind memories of a day that I will never forget. I was 17 years old and feeling quite pleased with all that was happening in my life. I had graduated from high school, had a girlfriend and a summer job, and now I was Read more…
Thank you for making joyful celebrations like this possible! The support YOU provide for the children is transformational. Yes, the transformation may take months and even years. The growth and development of a child do take time. But consistent, nurturing care, fueled by the support you provide through your gifts, has a positive and telling impact over time. Moses, one of the older boys in India is yet another example of this. Several years ago, Read more…
