We Care Youth-Sponsored shipment: South Africa 2011
CLWR is pleased to announce a new special project for Lutheran youth (and the young at heart!). In the summer of 2011 a humanitarian shipment departed from our Winnipeg warehouse for the Lutheran Communion in South Africa to advance the cause of socio-economic justice and human rights.

We were happy to welcome the Saskatoon Children's Choir as partners in this initiative. They visited South Africa in July 2011 to perform and meet some of the children benefiting from the shipment, while a CBC/Radio-Canada team documented their life-changing trip. Check out the trip blogs, photos, video and audio:
