A few snapshots from life at Hope Orphan Home this week. ❤️

The bunnies Sarah recently brought home for the children are growing fast, and the girls spent an afternoon working together to make a cake. 🐰🎂

It's special to see these everyday moments that help create a sense of home for the children in our care. ✨

Construction continues at Hope Orphan Home, and we are excited to see more progress on the chapel each week. ❤️🏗️

It is so special watching this space come together — a place where the children, staff and community members will gather for worship, prayer, and fellowship. Thank you for continuing to support the growth of Hope Orphan Home. ✨

What a fun day for the kids at Hope Orphan Home! ❤️🏊

The children had a great time at the pool during their special outing last week. We love being able to reward good behavior with days full of laughter, sunshine, and favorite treats like fried chicken and sodas. ☀️🍗🥤✨

Yesterday, three of our kids took their NPSE exam. This is what qualifies them to enter into "middle school" level classes. They test on several subjects in one day. These results will be shared in a month or two. Please continue to pray for them while they are awaiting good news. Thank you to all of our wonderful supporters who ensure our kids future is bright!

We are so thankful for Finn as he heads off to college. ❤️

He has helped with every TIOC event through photos, video, and audio, and has been a big part of many construction projects—gaining real skill in pouring concrete along the way. More than that, he has been a wonderful big brother to all the kids. ✨
