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.

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.

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.
