Eleven year old Emma Rice is selling her paintings. Not for herself, but to raise money to support kids through RMI’s Hope for Kidz. Her parents have helped her set up a non-profit organization to handle the funds and set up a website, emmazinggrace.org.
Both of her parents had been to Haiti on mission trips (her mom, Wendy, went as a college student with her church, Creekside Community Church, whose Sister Church is Baraderes). The Lord touched her heart when she heard that Haitian children could not go to school. Then the earthquake hit Haiti, making life in Haiti even harder. It drove her to find a way to raise funds to support kids. You have to hear her tell the story in her own words! She was interviewed by GraceFM in south Florida on the morning of August 4, 2011.
What a challenge to us adults! If this soft spoken young lady can do this, what can, or rather, what should we be doing?
All we can say is “You GO girl!” It’ll be fun to see what God does!
