Lyn James - Board Member

I grew up in South Africa and trained as a nurse, seeing what poverty and lack of education can do to a nation. To me health, safety and education are the greatest gift any child can receive.  Stitches of Hope touches lives that would otherwise have no hope. From Jeremiah 29:11, He knows the plans he has for them … plans for a hope and a future.
