Every day, in every country, children are orphaned or abandoned.
They are children who must live without parents or an extended family.
Most will grow up in desperately poor orphanages - without help or hope.
These are the children helped by the Children’s Bridge Foundation.

Join us for this special evening to benefit The Children’s Bridge Foundation and the hundreds of children at the orphanages in Hai Duong, Vietnam, and Nazareth and Adama Town in Ethiopia.


Guest Speaker:
Craig Kielburger of Free the Children
