Greeting Card Update: Beginning with this notice, Sister Paschal and her team will no longer be accepting greeting cards to be recycled into “new” ones. The internet has largely replaced the postal service, so they have an abundant supply for those still interested that can be found online. Sister Paschal and her team wish to express much gratitude to all their friends who have generously donated cards and envelopes to their project during these past several months. The proceeds from the donations support the education of girls in India.
