2019 has been a remarkable year. Please check ur January 2020 to see Patrick's Year End Recap.
From every view point 2019 was a wonderful year for FVSO. Total donations far exceeded our expectations. Because of that, our financial support for the children, the nuns and the caregivers exceeded the plans we made last January. In addition to our basic mission of food, medicine and education we also help with capital projects when we can. We had planned on making $40,000 in capital improvements for projects like clean water, safety, better living conditions and farm productivity. We were actually able to support almost $70,000 … WOW.
Your donations have been most meaningful.
