Greek Orthodox Ladies Philoptochos Society Bake Sale


The results of the Easter Bake Sale to benefit the WOR are in!

I am pleased to inform you that through the generosity of the Assumption of the Theotokos Metropolis Cathedral of Denver church community we were able to raise $2,104.15! The best bake sale ever! Isn't this great? We are so happy that we can work with the Greek Orthodox Ladies Philoptochos Society to serve chidren throughout the world.

These funds will go toward our first orphanage in Silimbe, Zambia. These funds will go toward drilling of the well to provide water to the entire orphanage community. We will be drilling this well in the next several weeks, and the proceeds from this bake sale will pay for more than half of the total cost! In Africa, water symbolizes life, and through this fundraiser the Assumption Cathedral here in Denver has provided 'life' for House of Faith Orphanage in Silembe, Zambia.

This group has also been instrumental in assisting our efforts in Mexico over the last several years. Thanks again to the Ladies of Phioptochos here in Denver!
