A Child's Hope Int'l Public Packing, FEBRUARY 15

"This was my second time serving at The Hope Factory, and I felt that my impact was just as great as it was the first time. I realized on this event that the greater purpose of what we're doing while serving is beyond all of us. Before coming to this event, none of us had any idea that Ukraine was a suffering country. This opened my eyes to the fact that there are so many unknown sufferings in this world. Yet at 17 and 18 years old, we are making change in the lives of those we don't know much about and, undoubtedly, for their own good. This is what Why Not? is all about, which makes working with A Child's Hope Int'l a very rewarding experience. "

"This experience was eye opening for me as I listened to the mission of the organization and learned how they helped kids across the world it made me feel as if I was make a difference in a child's life that could save them. By putting in high protein meals and giving them a source to clean water it makes me realize how fortunate I am and how I can continue to help in the future."

-Matthew Luebbe

"Watching the organization's video before we started helped to realize their core values and what they did. I realized how many kids that are impoverished and struggling for food and water. This made me want to work even harder, and I will most definitely be coming back here to volunteer. The thing that really stuck with me was what the man in charge said during the introduction. He said that with my individual work today I will have fed my child for an entire year. It felt amazing knowing that alone I am able to help this child out."
