Have you guys ever hear about the World Adoption Day ? The very first world adoption day is set this year , the year of 2014 .The first ever World Adoption Day will be taking place on November 9 thanks to the efforts of a Hollywood pastor who raised $4m through his own crowdfunding platform.
Hank Fortener, of the MOSAIC church on Hollywood Blvd., was inspired to set up the initiative because one of the main barriers to people adopting children is the huge financial cost, which can be more than $25,000.
To get round this, Fortener created the non-profit crowdfunding platform AdoptTogether which has so far helped 982 families to adopt a child.
Helping him in his campaign are Charity:Water's Scott Harrison and Canadian supermodel Jessica Stam. Also among those supporting World Adoption Day is sportscaster Ernie Johnson.
In order to support the World Adoption Day you can post a photo of your friends and family and you with the hand up smiley faces post it up in your social media and hashtag #WorldAdoptionDay
Although this is not a Lions Club International Project but we shared this to you is because we hope to help people around the world with all we can do.It is our honour to share with you the launching of the first adoption day . We hope to follow the District Theme this year Serve With Love & Pride.
