The Ripple Effect of Kindness
Kindness is one of the acts with such great ripple effects and it’s never hurt anyone who was kind before. We are grateful to all our partners and friends of HappyLife that have continuously sacrificed so much for us; giving their time and resources to help give our children a good life. You can support…
Why We Do It…
Our vision is to give abandoned babies a home and hope for their adoption. Almost all of the children that come to Happy Life Mission come without a name. We give them a name and we love them. We strive to make the world a better place; one child at a time. Loving these children…
