CHRISTMAS PROJECT 2001
        As well as trying to bring gifts to over 5000 orphans in Russia,
Albania, India, Africa, and France, we're adding some new projects to our
list: 
        We'd like to help 500 orphans and handicapped children in Baku
where GGWO has a team:
        We'd like to send gifts to about 60 orphans in Algeria working
alongside a French ministry here;
        We'd like to do something to help the 300 - 700 clandestine orphans
in Marseille who live on the streets.
        Pray for finances for each of these projects.

INDIA, AFRICA, RUSSIA
        We would really like to expand in these countries in these ways:
Develop more orphanages in India;
Create a real concrete work for street children in Ivory Coast, increase
our efforts in Burkino Faso and help workers in Zimbabwe.  We'd like to
have a greater impact in other parts of Africa also;
To really begin an orphanage in St.Petersburg, Russia, once and for all,
and to continue offering help in the state orphanages.

GENERAL
        The cancelling of recent trips to India, and elsewhere owing to
recent events has hindered certain plans to develop.  Please pray we can
expand and make a greater, greater difference for the millions of suffering
children in the world.  Pray for Orphans First to have a greater impact, to
touch more lives, and change the destiny of children everywhere.

        Thank you for praying for the children, always.
