Ruth and Glenn Wilms continue their committment 

Ruth and Glenn Wilms
The Wilms, of Calgary, were generous always held a deep committment to helping others, especially children in need. A committment they continue even after their passing with a generous bequest to SOS Children’s Villages Mbabane.

In Mbabane, Swaziland, SOS mother Patricia knows the value of the gift of love. She is the SOS mother to 10 children who have no one else who can care for them and look to her for a loving home. Patricia also knows that the children she cares for wouldn’t have the opportunity for a mother and family without the support of caring people like the Wilms. Their generous donation makes it possible for these orphaned and abandoned children to find a home, without which their future would be bleak.

Ruth and Glenn Wilms have made a committment, not only to these children but to the community of Mbabane into which these children will grow to be responsible citizens. to learn more.
