Harvest of hope : stories of life-changing gifts
Personal Author EPSB:
Summary:
When you give money to a charity, what happens to it? Does the money actually reach a person who is in need? Curious about philanthropic gift catalogues that allow donors to sponsor a child, furnish medical supplies or buy an animal for an impoverished family, Kay Marshall Strom followed the money through several organizations to trace the individual stories of recipients around the globe. What she found was financial integrity, fulfilled promises and radically changed lives!
