CHILDS TRUST

Founded in 1999, CHILD’s Trust was started by Mark and Julie Thomas, members of Buckskin. CHILD’s Trust supports total orphans in loving family environments called Houses of Hope in India, Bangladesh and Nepal, as well as school projects providing the poorest children with a good education, nutritious meals and the love of God.
