Because their birthdays are so close to Christmas celebrations, their parents allow them to celebrate 1/2 birthdays in the summer months so that they can include more of their friends and family.
Zoryanna and Oceanne and their parents have been supporting One! International for over six years in a variety of ways.
For the last few years the girls have been forfeiting the birthday presents they would normally receive from family and friends at their 1/2 birthday parties.
Instead, they ask people to bring 'presents' that are appropriate and can be sent to India and used by the children at the schools.
In August, Oceanne dropped off her contributions: construction paper, books, toys, puzzles, clothes and money. Mom always supplements by adding vitamins and children's pain medication.
Oceanne and Zoryanna have learned early to care for those who don't receive as much as they do.
Thank You Oceanne and Zoryanna from the One! children in Mumbai.
