Message from the former Board Chair

Dear Volunteers of Caring Hands Africa,                                   

It is with much honor that I write this message of gratitude to you. It all started with a dream when the Executive Director indicated his heart for the underserved populations in Africa and around the world. He insisted he wanted to use his nursing skills to reach the hard to reach places in rural areas of Africa. With very little, volunteers like you and his family put together medicines and basic items for healthcare which he followed through and provided medical care to 169 sick persons including children. His dedication and the commitment of many of you have propelled me into pushing our mission/vision and agenda to the next level. Too often we underestimate the power of an embrace, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Life is a gift regardless of where you are, who you are, what color of skin you have and what creed you believe in. To walk on a thin rope but make the greatest impact is to dare to dry the tears of those in desperate need of healthcare and basic needs like water, education, and food.

I urge you as a person of a great heart to reach down and pull up a child, a family or a community from the pit of lack. Join us to touch the needy and make the world a better place for humanity.

Thank you for your spirit of hope and the hand of service,

God bless you

God bless Caring Hands Africa

God bless this amazing world of ours.
