Shipment from Orphan Grain Train Norfolk Brings Hope to Children in Romania
A recent shipment to Romania out of Orphan Grain Train Norfolk brought joy to this young man. This is a portion of a letter from the recipient: “They have nothing to travel to school or kindergarten and that is why we are asking for bicycles for transportation and school kits with school supplies for these children in isolated communities.
We also have cases of children without parents raised by a grandfather who has no financial resources at all for food or clothing and who enjoyed the packages from you.”
