Please take a moment to wander about our website; it’s full of honest insights into who we are and what we do.
Once you’ve given us the once over, we ask that you take a step back and ask yourself three questions:
- Is the global orphan problem something that I care about?
- Do I have the ability or resources to get involved at some level?
- What’s stopping me ?
If your answers move you to action, we’re here to share our passion for orphan support with you.
If you stumbled upon us by accident or are not interested in orphan issues, then we wish you well and hope that you will involve yourself in some other form of charitable work.
When we began our organization and an article on our efforts hit our local paper, one blogger lambasted us for focusing on foreign countries and not on our own back yard. They feverishly proclaimed “charity begins at home.”
While we understand the sentiment, especially given the current economic climate, we disagree with that adage. At OLR, we believe that charity begins in the heart, is nurtured by the soul and only then is home and humanity bountiful.
As Bob Hope once said, “If you haven’t any charity in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble.”
