Bright and early on Saturday, March 6, the Teaching Friends Sunday School class of First Baptist Church in Charleston and Lowcountry Orphan Relief made a lot of people happy. The children of migrant workers at Rural Missions on John’s Island received a new bright and cheery library, with books donated by LOR and handmade shelving, made by LOR volunteer, Mr. Bill Dorrity. The books were arranged and labeled by grade level and the room was decorated with fun and colorful posters and cut-outs for the children to enjoy and to help them appreciate reading. This class turned a room into a place of fun and learning for these children and Lowcountry Orphan Relief wants to thank them for all of their love and support and for this great project. Thanks, Class!!!!!!








Lowcountry Orphan Relief refurbished the library/homework room at the Connie Maxwell Children’s Home in Orangeburg, SC. Cathy Keagy and volunteer Lori Bellaciccio painted the room and took “LORI” the delivery truck up to Orangeburg, loaded with 3,000 new books donated by Kate Counts of The Pajama Program and three computers, monitors, keyboards and mice, made possible by a gift from Select Health of SC. A new couch and posters were purchased with funds from the St. Andrew’s Rotary Club of Charleston. The children were very excited to see the room take shape and they were thrilled with all of the new books and computers!! Thank you to all of our volunteers and donors who made this all possible.
