Dear Friends and Supporters,

Imagine orphan genocide survivors being given the opportunity to heal and create new maps for heart-centered leadership... Imagine US school children connecting with orphans throughout the world creating their own maps for healing in the world...

It is with so much gratitude, love, joy and wonder in my heart that I thank you for your support of our work with orphan genocide survivors. Your generous gifts went directly toward program expenses for trauma healing and reconciliation work with over 150 Orphan Head of Households and orphan high school students last summer.

Because of you, Connie Brown and I had the great privilege of bringing The Grace Process to these deserving and amazing young people. Regardless of the intensity of the traumas we deal with (rape, torture, mutilation, disease, murder and despair), these orphans enthusiastically and sincerely engage in exercises to find peace and hope in their bodies, their hearts and their lives.

What unfolded has been beyond our imagination: creating solutions for how to work together to help other traumatized orphans; finding and sharing resources; understanding the freedom of forgiveness; and feeling more connected to the Divine at work in their lives. The power in giving and receiving the love and compassion we share with each other expands my vision for transforming our world by investing in healing our children.

We’ve got more exciting news about our recent trip coming up soon. Please join our email list and stay tuned!

In the spirit of grace,
Lori Leyden
