Seven Sisters

Imagine with me for a minute: You're an 11-year-old girl, your parents are suddenly gone, and you're left to care for your younger siblings  with zero resources.   Your younger sisters are ages 9, 7, twins 4, 3, and a baby.   Are you feeling panicked yet?    These are the shoes that big-sister Katherin was filling for over a month, alone.    

They are not alone now.  These 7 girls arrived here at  
GiveHope2Kids   one week ago.    They came with only the clothes on their backs.   All were malnourished and two had bronchitis.    They were  listless and obviously insecure.

It's just one week later, but already you can see a change in these girls.   They're more alert, more active, and they smile.   It's amazing how one week of good care  can make such a difference.

 But one week of care isn't our goal.   We're in this for the long-haul.    If we can reunite a child with family, that is obviously our ideal,  but for most of our kids that's just not possible.    For as long as a child is here, we are raising them in the best family-environment that we can.   We will educate them and prepare them to  support themselves as independent adults, and not let them go until they're ready to fly.     We want to be their forever-family.

Seven sisters are now living with Grandma Gladys.   We will be their home and family for as long as they need it.    

Will you help us do this?    We were already  needing sponsors and adding  in 7 more kids makes our need for sponsors that much more urgent!    Be a blessing to these kids.    Help us a make a difference in their lives!

GiveHope2Kids Additions

This year has been a year of adding finishing touches to our myriad of building projects from the past 8 years.  Too often when we urgently need to get to the next project, we've rushed past the finishing touches our spaces need.  So this year we've painted walls that have never seen a coat of paint before, trimmed windows, and added on a much needed storage shed.  We've finished off our community areas better too, which makes things run smoother for our Friday Night Youth Group.  Currently we're finishing a road for better access to our agricultural projects and we're expanding and improving housing for our pigs.

Picture
An exciting addition here is that we recently traded out vehicles to purchase two 2001 Landcruisers.   We're ecstatic after eyeing these for nearly a decade!  These are the ultimate vehicles for us.  They should last us 15+ years of daily use up and down our horrible road, which really says something.  They can comfortably seat 10 people out of the daily rain showers, and with kids on laps, we've squeezed 14 people in just fine.  These trucks have been such a blessing already!  (So thanks to everyone who has donated towards vehicles in the last several years!)

Another big win for GiveHope2Kids recently, is that we were able to purchase another smaller property in our village.  We are using this land for cattle grazing and other agricultural projects.  And it's only a 10 min walk from home, which makes it quite convenient.  Our cattle herd is really starting to multiply, and we're up to 30 head, so this purchasing opportunity was perfect timing for us.
Picture
Our top new investment though is in people:  We recently welcomed in a new house-parent to our team, Grandma Gladys.   We're also caring for three new siblings, Kathia, Dilmer, and Briana.  Giving a stable home to these kids is why we push through all the other projects.  This is the heart of  GiveHope2Kids.
