Kind Words
“The WFCF’s contribution has remade old and dangerous cement stairs. These will now be safe stairs for single mothers who are forced to make difficult decisions. We'll meet single mothers trying to leave in a hurry and have safe counseling. We will give peace and hope to all single mothers who pass these stairs. We sincerely appreciate the donation from WFCF. God bless your organization.”

- Pastor Lee, Jusarang Community Church

Children of Adam “Adam and Eve"
Before you enter the UN building in New York City, you will see the following poem by famous Persian poet Saadi of the 13th century called “Bani Aadam” inscribed on the UN building entrance.
Here is the poem:
The sons of Adam are limbs of each other,

Having been created of
one essence.

When the calamity of time affects one limb

The other limbs cannot remain at rest.

If you have no sympathy for the trouble of others

You are unworthy to
be called by the name
of a human.
