Last-Minute Christmas Gift Suggestions
Pt. 2 "One Humble Teacher"

Steve and Oddny Gumaer started Partners Relief & Development in response to the needs of refugees and displaced people from Burma. "Our Vision: Free, full lives for the children of Burma. Our Hope: Reconciled communities living in peace. Through holistic action, we demonstrate God’s love to children and communities made vulnerable by war in Burma.
We all have our own wish lists for Christmas. You may want a new iPod or some new boots. I want a hand-knitted sweater from my wife. But imagine for a moment if your top gift was food. That is the case for thousands of people in Burma right now. Will you join Partners Relief & Development and make this Christmas about giving life to war-impacted children and families? When you purchase one of our gifts, you are literally helping save lives. You also show God's love.

Here's how it works ...
1. To review the options and purchase gifts, click the Buy Now button. You will be taken to a Partners web page where you can select your specific gifts. You can choose as many gifts as you'd like.
2. Check out and purchase your gifts. Your order will be sent to Partners immediately.
3. Partners will mail you a Greeting Card for each item you select. You can then give the Greeting Cards to your loved ones at that perfect moment.

It's so easy to do ... ... here's one suggestion ...

Two / One Humble Teacher - Access to education is fundamental to a child’s wellbeing and development. Our education assistance program supports almost 4,000 teachers, who in turn teach more than 80,000 children in Karen State, Eastern Burma. We believe it is the most comprehensive education support program in a conflict zone anywhere in the world. Your gift will support a teacher for one month, providing teaching materials, education texts and a teachers subsidy.
