- photo taken at a Senior Orphans Christmas Dinner - all the Seniors are served dinner by volunteers; holiday entertainment is provided; a take-home bag goes with them when they leave. Held the first Monday every December in Lakeland Florida. It is a night they all look forward to and enjoy fellowship. ______________________________________________________________________ standingwomen.net/ Sunday May 12, 2013 will mark our 7th year of standing together for the sake of earth’s children on what is Mother’s Day in many countries! Please read our call/invitation below, and join us at 1 pm local time. It is no small thing that we are doing, for in these critical chaotic times, we must take every opportunity to join our intentions for a better world. " We are standing for the world's children and grandchildren - and for the seven generations beyond them. We dream of a world where all our children have safe drinking water, clean air to breathe and enough food to eat. A world where they have access to a basic education to develop their minds and healthcare to nurture their growing bodies. A world where they have a warm, safe and loving place to call home. A world where they don't live in fear of violence -- in their home, in their neighborhood, in their school or in their world. This is the world of which we dream. This is the cause for which we stand." www.picmonkey.com

More than 300 volunteers provide about 7,000 hours of labor every year, collecting, sorting and packing goods that are delivered to our single elderly seniors, who are screened and qualified, to help them survive on such a small amount of income." -- Taken from a letter about Senior Orphans -- © All rights reserved
