Several years ago Kay Marshall Strom discovered a new avenue for giving that especially intrigued her: gift catalogs. The catalogs, put out by various organizations, offer opportunities to provide specific material, educational and medical provisions for people all over the world, such as a year of school for a Chinese pastor's child, tuberculosis medicine for a patient in North Korea or animals for a family in Cambodia. But Kay wanted to find out for herself if the families actually receive the gifts purchased. So, working with Partners International, she set out on an eye-opening expedition around the world.
What she found was financial integrity, fulfilled promises and radically changed lives.
Through these pages you can travel with her on her journey. See the delight of families; enter the stories of hope in the midst of struggle. Kay's first-person accounts reveal that the money given through gift catalogs to purchase goats or village wells really is making a difference in Cambodia and Morocco and Senegal, because the gift your gift actually reaches the people who need it most. Kay offers here an invitation to discover the power and joy of giving that changes lives yours, and the lives of people all over the world.
