Our Directors report that Walter, our only full-time staff member has left for two months of training so Dora will be spending most of her time at the HOH until he returns. Helping us part-time are Maria and Dora’s sister Li Hong. Moses (13) has been back with us about two weeks now and he seems peaceful, happy, and able to focus on his seventh grade work. We’re thankful to have found a new school for him. Ruth (13), also in seventh grade, and Esther (15), in eigth grade, are doing well in the ‘best’ local high school. Paul (17) is doing excellent in eleventh grade in another city. He visited (and taught!) at the HOH during February break. Elijah (13) and Hannah (13) are in sixth grade and both doing very well. David (10) is in fifth grade and is still making improvements in personal disciplines. Joseph (11) and Grace (11) are both in fourth grade and both doing well; Joseph is especially encouraged because his new house in the village is newly finished. Samuel (5) is in kindergarten and did famously even when Dora stayed in Hong Kong a month over Chinese New Year. Jeremiah (15) is very happy now, home every day with us. He has just written a wonderful testimony of the changes God has brought in his life so far. Dora and other staff, and one or more of the kids if possible, go every month to LD village about 30 km away to distribute rice for 50 widows. Last time we were able to also give each some cooking oil. We also have just purchased land in that village where we are preparing to build a ministry house for the rice distribution, housing for local needy, and other ministry.
What Your
Child Sponsorship Provides
Each project is different and provides unique opportunities for us to change a child's life. If a child is in one of the residential care programs they receive:
- Schooling;
- Medical and dental care;
- All meals;
- Loving, 24 hour care by trained carers;
- Clothing;
- Tuition;
- Outings;
- Transport; and,
- Accommodation.
We seek to provide all that each child needs. This usually means that we require (3) sponsors per child for residential care.
- Rescuing women and children at risk
- Breaking Cycles of Poverty
- Transforming Communities
