| | Cuzco, Peru. Here are clay crosses held by the three Callasi sons. A small-loan program in Cuzco, Peru benefits two ceramic makers. A few years ago, Lucio Callasi struggled to keep his ceramics business going because he couldn't afford enough supplies. After receiving a small loan he increased his business, which has freed him up to spend more time as pastor of a local evangelical church. A small loan also was given to Pedro Becerra to start a new ceramics business. It has been so successful he now has 14 employees. Photo by Todd Bartel/World Vision. |

| | Magole ADP, Tanzania. Faith's father is a farmer. She has one younger brother and one baby sister. She will attend school next year. "I'm excited to go to school. I will learn to write there. It will be a two-kilometer walk there (about 1and 1/3 miles). I'll walk with my friends. I am the oldest in the family, so I'm the first child to go to school. In the morning, sometimes my mother sends me to the market to buy salt and green vegetables. I also fetch water. My sponsor sent me a doll that I play with. The doll's name is Jeni. I also like to play group games. I want to be a nurse when I grow up and work in the Berega hospital here. I wish I could have shoes and a green skirt."

| | Muskegon County, Michigan, USA. In the 'New to You Store' sorting room, volunteer Jeanette Voss inspects and prices hundreds of donated goods a month. Many items are for infants and children 5 years and under, an age group specifically targeted by many Love INC affiliates, through their Love for Children component. She has been giving the gift of her time to Love INC one day a week for the last two and one-half years. She feels strongly that her contribution is worthwhile and likes meeting all the different people that keep the place busy. "I had no idea what Love INC was," says Jeanette, until a friend invited her to help out one day. Photo by John Corriveau/World Vision. |

| | Muskegon County, Michigan, USA. Kay Boersema volunteers in the food pantry each Tuesday. Those in the community with emergency needs can pick up three to five days worth of free food once a week. As an incentive, Tuesday is distribution day for those in Love's Quality LIving budget program who keep their monthly ledger and goal sheets current. Kay recalls one mother in the process of getting her finances under control saying, "Tuesdays are like Christmas to us." A different church in the network stocks the pantry each month. Kay has been a Love INC volunteer for over seven years. When asked why she stays involved she says simply, "Because I am helping out those in need." Photo by John Corriveau/World Vision. |

| | Bai Ku Yao, Guangxi, China. Most of the young girls in this village and other small villages are not educated. WV sponsored a school where girls can train in basic reading and math skills. They hope that one day they can choose to go on to college to become teachers or doctors for their own village. This is an upward trend for the future of a self-sustaining village.
