What's NEW?
Update on CHAMPS The Woodlands!
Thanks to all the CHAMPS supporters in the Houston metro area and beyond who helped The Woodlands students re-raise the money stolen from their fundraising event.
Now, with $25,000 raised, The Woodlands students have fully sponsored MDD "Texas" and will use the remaining money to provide rehab to a young mine survivor.
We are in awe of your incredible generosity and look forward to bringing you updates when MDD "Texas" begins service in Iraq.
