International Christian Fellowship church members and Curb-Tec Europe co-owner Chris Hutchinson have been working with the Kowalewo Children's Home in Poland for several years, organizing activities and providing gifts and equipment for the children. For St. Nicholas Day in December 2010, they arranged crafts, cookie baking, carol singing and gift giving for the children. Chris thanked his business partners for their logistical support in making the event possible.

1. ICF Celebrating St. Nicholas Day at
Kowalewo Children’s Home, 4 Dec 2010
Sheri Torgrimson and International Christian Fellowship church members have
been working with the Director of “Dom Dziecka Kowalewo”, Marlena
Watemborska, for about the past three years to regularly make trips to
Kowalewo in order to spend time with the children there as well as helping with
organizing other activities for them in Warsaw, etc.
Curb-Tec Europe co-owner, Chris Hutchinson, and his wife Kasia have been
actively involved in this through ICF for approximately the past 18 months.
They would like to sincerely thank Decathlon Sports Megastore for the
discounts and free sporting equipment they provided for the kids. Chris would
also like to give a huge thank you to his business partner, Krzysztof Stroinski,
and one of his employees, Marek Swiecki, on their tremendous support with
logistics. It was no small thing and none of it could have been accomplished
without them and some wonderfully dedicated people. Thank You Everyone!!!
