We had a wonderful time celebrating with many of you at our Color Their World banquet. If you weren't able to make it, you can still donate to AiYD by clicking Donate now above.

Just a few of the tremendous silent auction items.

We were blessed to have Rob Browne from Youth Reach join us for a powerful message that we are all first responders to the crisis of youth in Eastern Europe. With the politics of that region, now more than ever, we are being summoned to the task of helping orphans and children in desperate need. Now more than ever, we can help save lives.

Kostya and Katya, two of our leaders in Omsk, also surprised us with a Skype call! We heard from them on the great work that they're doing in Omsk, as well as from Ashkad, one of the Eastern European orphans. He told us how he feels loved and has been helped by Allies in Youth Development. He even wore a Texas T-shirt to show his pride for our state!

We are so grateful for the sweet Hanna siblings who made items to sell with proceeds benefitting the orphans!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support and for a wonderful evening. We're looking forward to the next year's banquet!
