There are many different reasons for hosting! One may be hosted to gain a mentor, to be adopted by the host family or to have the family advocate on their behalf in order to find their forever family! In an effort to help with the latter, we are introducing some amazing children that are here right now in the US hoping to find a family! These children will be in the US until April 17th, so time is of the essence. If you or someone you know are interested in meeting one of these children, please contact Traci Mai at tracim@p143.org. Please keep these children and their host families in prayer! Let us introduce you to:
