The
New Year is upon us and along with all the New Year’s
Resolutions, and aspirations for making the ’07 a terrific
year, let’s remember to make giving to others a part of our
daily life and also take the time to give thanks for all
that we are given.
We at CompuTech for Humanity give thanks for the opportunity
we have to make a positive difference in the lives of people
who are living with the very difficult challenges of
poverty, mental and physical disabilities. CFH is grateful
for our corporate sponsors and also for individual
donations. Without this support, we could not carryout our
mission. |
