Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

A lot is happening in the world right now… First the sad war in Ukraine and then suddenly there is that devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria. How powerless can you feel. Yet it is nice to see that many have converted that powerlessness into actions to help as many people as possible. It sometimes feels like a drop in the ocean, but many drops really make the difference!

Heavy floods in Mozambique
|
|
Last week there was serious flooding in Mozambique, in Boane and the surrounding area. Several people and children have died. At least 14,000 people have lost their homes, roads are broken, etc. Fortunately, the children in our children's home in Mozambique are all safe.

|
|
However, many schools have closed because victims of the floods are being cared for. Our contact person, Corrie, helps where she can together with a team. A few times a week they bring food and take sick people to the hospital. There is a lot of need and they would like to help make new roofs for the affected houses. If you want to help you can donate here for Mozambique.

On an excursion in Myanmar
|

|

In Myanmar, the coup is still going on. Fortunately, the children from our children's home are doing well. They, too, still feel the threat, and the violence is close at hand. A group of terrorists recently burned several school buses belonging to students 50 km from the children's home. To forget the tension, the children were taken on an excursion, a bus was rented and all children were taken to a beautiful national park where they played fun games together and enjoyed a delicious lunch. A day in which there was a lot of laughter and the worries disappeared into the background for a while. The children thank all sponsors, because of them this has been made possible.

Worry about high school costs
|
|
We have heard from various contact persons from our projects that school costs have risen considerably. This is also the case in Kenya at Hope4Hope, where we support a large number of children. Many children have just completed primary school and are eager to move on to secondary education. The problem is that the costs are very high. At the moment there are 10 children who can go to secondary education, but unfortunately there is no money available for this. Each child needs €300 to go to school. If you have the opportunity to help one of these children go to school, you can make a donation via link below or the artikel.

Due to Covid-19, war and economic fluctuations, school costs have skyrocketed in parts of Africa. Many families cannot afford this increase. As a result, the children do not receive education and can end up in crime. Education offers the chance to get out of poverty, work on your future and give the children hope.

It will also be difficult for our projects to get all the children to school. Despite the sponsorship, the school costs and the supplies they have to provide themselves have become so very expensive. In addition, food and other costs read more...
