A message from A. Frank Donaghue, Friends' Chief Executive Officer:
I recently returned from my trip to El Salvador and Honduras on Thanksgiving Morning. Needless to say my experience was utterly inspiring. The kids and young adults we all work to support are worthy of every effort given to our mission. What was most noticeable to me, especially from the students attending the leadership training from all our homes in Central and South America in Honduras, was the depth of spirituality and gratitude that our future leaders possess. At every Liturgy, a student prayed for blessings on our donors, volunteers and staff.
From a beautiful Quincea?era, to a graduation of kindergarten and grade school children, to a training, to dinner in the baby house, gratitude and faith was the most prevailing feeling.
Gratitude; I want to express to you in the deepest sincerity with the words of Paul. "I give thanks to God for the gift of you". I extend that to you on behalf of the children you help, give a home, feed, educate, shower with joy and provide with safety.
It is such a privilege for me to work with everyone at Friends and NPH and share our commitment and passion.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Frank
P.S. Meet my newest Godchild, Darling. She is 5 and lives at the home in Honduras. This picture is from her recent Baptism. She is absolutely awesome. That smile alone gives you a reason to be Thankful.
