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.

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.

- 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.
