Thank you to our supporters! You are a wonderful blessing in a time of great need. Orphanages have been out of food or only having rice porridge. Thanks to God and you we were able to deliver over 75 tons of food in the last four weeks. In addition to food relief we have also delivered thousands of eggs (500 per orphanage) and 250 Kg. fish from our farm.

When we think of summer, we think of camps ! A time filed with new stories, friendships, laughter and lots of joy. This year we are celebrating our fifteenth camping season that we have been conducting for kids from orphanages and social orphans.

For Orphans like these who need a home it means a lot for our staff to come and care about them and spend time together. We have worked with children in Ukraine orphanages for over 18 years. You can feel God’s love flowing through you to bless and encourage them.
