Orphan's Hope Celebrates 10 Years

Exciting Highlights from Recent Months

 

- Beautiful newly built home purchased in Ukraine to be a transition home for children from the orphanages.  A very kind donor gave for purchasing, interior finishing, and furnishings of the this much needed home for girls and boys coming out of the orphanages.

 

- We have a new youth center and office under renovation in Simferopol, Ukraine.  It will be a hub of activity, in programs both for teens and young people who have left the orphanages and our work with children still in the orphanages. $13,500 Still Needed

 

- URGENT NEED: Over $6,000 has been raised for children from orphanages to go to school starting at the end of May. but more is needed. 35 Orphanage have applied for help and we are less than half way (as of writing this). Only $15 a child, provides essential needed supplies and the fees to get them into school in Asia.  Click Here to See Fund Raising Thermometer

 

- An additional 5 acres were just purchased at our farm in Asia in April. Our farm is about 15 minutes from Garden Home, with a total to 75 acres now. Over 3,000 fish were recently harvested and we expect 25,000 over the next year. 100% of all fish and income go to help the orphanages there, many of which are really struggling.  Work is being done to expand our fish farming ponds, as partners help us.  We have a very good opportunity to expand.

 

- 675 teens and young people came for camp at Garden Home in April and over 400 younger children came again this year for children camp.  It was a highlight for children from the orphanages.

 

- Wesleyan High School sent another great team to work with Orphan's Hope for the fourth year now. They work with us in the orphanages, with the teens in our transition program, helped with renovations for our new youth center, and gave funds. 

The three American ladies (Esther Snyder, Rachel Gilmor, and Tara Belt) who joined Orphan's Hope staff in Ukraine this last year have been a great blessing to the children and our staff.

- 50 Orphanage House Parents and Staff came for Leadership and Family Training to GH at the beginning of May. OH and Singapore leaders began a series providing of courses for Orphanage Directors, Staff, and Families, on building quality families that last and raising children. It is very important to provide a good example for the many orphans in these homes who have lacked families. We are thankful for our friends at ROLC in their generous giving and volunteer teams working with us.
