Do you know what the term “flourish” means? It has a very powerful meaning if you look it up. It means to “grow or develop in a healthy or vigorous way, especially as the result of a particularly favorable environment.” Some similar words are “grow, thrive, prosper, do well and develop.”

We chose this word as our theme for our October 20, 2018 auction, “Flourish, Planting Seeds of Life” because it perfectly illustrates what Serve the Children does.

We help children grow in a very healthy environment, surrounded by people who care about them. We offer education opportunities to children who do not have free educational choices like we do here in the United States. Our facilities offer a safe environment to allow children to flourish as our staff gives them hope by providing an education that will improve their lives. They are growing into educated adults even though many of their parents cannot read or write. They are thriving.

We currently provide assistance to children in Liberia, Zambia, Central India and Mumbai.
