About
Hello, we are Larry and Pia. Our story and passion for helping others began in childhood. We both had missionary parents and grew up in India and Ethiopia. In 1992 we went on our first mission trip with our church, and have now been on 48 mission trips, most of them organized and led by us. In 2019 we went on a mission trip to Lebanon. On that mission we visited the Adventist Learning Center (ALC) for Syrian and Kurdish refugee children in Beirut. We learned that families do not have money to buy sanitary pads for their daughters. The Learning Village in Kalaala, Ethiopia, a project we’re also involved with, also mentioned the same problem. We learned that this is a common problem in many countries and girls often miss school during their periods. Many end up dropping out of school because they get far behind in their studies. Annie’s Hope was born of a desire to help meet that common need for families that cannot afford sanitary pads for girls. To help, we developed a simple reusable sani-pad model that seamstresses at both schools can use to sew reusable sani-pads for their girls. We also raise funds to help them with the expenses of sewing the pads. Our charity also raises money for special or urgent projects at the ALC school in Beirut, such as providing winter coats for children or repairs to the school building after the Beirut harbor explosion in 2020. Because of worsening economic conditions in Lebanon, most of the students’ families are out of work and barely surviving. The latest fundraisers have allowed us to help the school with buying some staples for the families and feed the students warm lunches – often their only meal of the day. The Lord has blessed our humble efforts in helping these organizations. If you would like to help, we have more details below about the projects and how to donate. May the Lord richly bless you.
