Thanksgiving where did that come from.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day in the USA

We are thankful to you

Did you know Thanksgiving is on the fourth Thursday of November, it was set by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1939 but where did it come from?

Many opinions abound but the accepted account is this; in 1621 the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies.
Of course, this was the time of giving thanks to God for the pilgrims and to “the creator” by the Wampanoag.

Thanksgiving is a rare holiday in the world. Canada and the USA are the two countries that celebrate a Thanksgiving holiday in a form that we would recognize.

Most of the fourteen countries where we have projects do not celebrate a Thanksgiving holiday. However, Star of Hope staff and the children in our projects take a moment to be thankful for each sponsor, donor, and prayer that provide hope. So if you are a donor or a sponsor we say thank you from our hearts.
If you are not a sponsor why not become a Lunch Buddy today and help feed our kids lunch at school? CLICK HERE

Or perhaps you can give a child a hen that will help earn a micro income. Click on the link >  I'll take a hen and give it away.
