More about our kids!
Hope Orphan Home is not very big in terms of kids. We are currently at 17 children- 9 boys and 8 girls. However, a great blessing of that is nobody gets lots in the “shuffle”. Everyone has their birthday celebrated with cake and a present, and gets extra gifts at Christmas. Each ones likes and dislikes, joys and sorrows, and strengths and weaknesses are known and cared about. There’s value in both a BIG center full of kids who are in great need, and a smaller one with more intimate relationships. Since we have been on this journey, we only tackle what we can financially manage- and even then it’s tight at times. Thanks to our wonderful Director of Partnerships, Chance, anyone who supports Hope Orphan Home with a monthly gift gets a regular update on the kids and some of the happenings. However, there are so many of you who have committed to pray for and give in different ways and we don’t want to exclude you or make you feel as though you aren’t valued. Of course, we always need more donors (college is coming up for some and we have lots of needed improvements in the homes themselves) but there’s NOTHING as important as prayer. I was encouraged to share some individual pictures and information on the kids we are blessed to care for and felt this might be the best platform. Now you pray even more intimately for these beautiful kids we get to love and serve. So, here are our wonderful kiddos-
This is Samuel. He is 5 and his birthday is February 2nd. He loves anything with wheels 😉 He is also fairly ornery and forgets his size/ age a lot! This is his first time attending school!
