Mother of Peace is a foster home wish list
NORTH RIDING – Spare a thought for Mother of Peace this Christmas. This is what they are wishing for.
Mother of Peace is a foster home for children in North Riding and they currently provide a home to 39 children through the help of financial contributions from the public. They offer abandoned and orphaned children an opportunity to live within a structured family environment, to be cared for, nurtured and loved.
Children are fostered by full-time and committed volunteers who dedicate their lives to looking after the children. They also take care of HIV-positive and disabled children of all ages.
This year Mother of Peace joined hands with the Golden Harvest park run to encourage runners to help them with their fundraising efforts. The initiative saw over 20 bags filled with stationery, cleaning agents, clothes and other much needed non-perishable items for the organisation.
