   
RUNNING FOR THE ORPHANS- NYC MARATHON NOVEMBER 2, 2008
Part of Global Industrial Products mission
statement is to give back to the world community by actively supporting
charitable organizations that demonstrate a solid commitment to helping people
in need and making a real positive impact on society.
On November 2, 2008, Tom Howland and several close friend
will be running the New York City Marathon to support Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos
(NPH) "Little Brothers and Sisters"
www.nphamigos.org. NPH has cared for orphaned and abandoned children
primarily in Central and South America since 1954.
Over the years, Tom's
family has made it a point to visit NPH Mexico. It is a powerful experience and
a positive refuge for these children. Witnessing firsthand the amazing work of
NPH prompted us to sponsor a child, which I encourage to you as well.
He can personally testify
to you about this great cause and organization that continues to help the less
fortunate children in some of the poorest countries.
The week following the NYC
marathon, he will be traveling with my daughter, 2 of my sisters, and my mother
to NPH El Salvador. We have a good friend of the family, Ron Hicks, who is the
Director at this orphanage. We are trying to help out with some of their current
needs.
Although times may be
difficult, given the current state of the economy; unfortunately, the poor are
hit hardest!
NPH El Salvador is more
than shelter. It is a blessing. NPH provides hope for many children born into
poverty, who now have a chance for a better life.
He is asking if you could
please join him to help raise needed financial support for NPH. Your
generosity and kindness would be greatly appreciated. If you have any questions
or would like more information on this cause, please do not hesitate to contact
Tom directly. 312-953-6397
Thank you and please
