World Orphans Day 1
Worldwide, 145 million children are orphaned or displaced. Every two seconds another child is orphaned. 99% of orphans worldwide will never be adopted.
World Orphans Day began in Nashville, TN to raise awareness and money for these forgotten children around the world. Take a moment to think about them, and whether there is anything you can do to help.

This is the first year it has been observed, correct? Glad to see this holiday is getting so much promotion.
