A New Look

Family Hope Charity has seen such a whirlwind of activity lately that it seemed like the time for a little "interior design." Tom has brought in a Kenyan consultant who is doing some redesign on our official Web site, www.familyhopecharity.org, to make it more appealing to supporters around the world. It seemed only fitting that we should revamp the blog as well, to complement the look of the Web site. Let us know what you think and thanks for stopping by! Remember to "like" us on Facebook so you can get Tom's frequent updates from Nairobi. He is very close to getting final approval on the rebuilding of Makwk clinic and that is BIG news.

Speaking of big news, we're proud to announce a second Chicago-area fundraiser. This time it's Irish Music For Africa, on Saturday, March 12, 2011 at 7:30 PM. Come and hear a great program of popular Irish favorites from local musicians Marcy Weckler-Barr, Theresa Donohoo, Gerry Aylward and Dave Kunzweiler. The concert is free and a freewill offering will be collected with all proceeds benefiting Family Hope's work. That's Saturday, March 12, 2011 and we thank our gracious location donors, St. Thomas of Villanova parish in Palatine, IL. The concert will be held at the church, located at 1201 East Anderson Drive in Palatine, IL. You can find directions at the parish Web site, www.stov.org It's the perfect way to spend the weekend before St. Patrick's Day so don't miss this exciting event!
