Our beloved Hatta passed away
|
|
Hatta is part of Project Held sponsorship program and has passed away at her cottage in northern Albania at the age of 87. This strong and very special woman lived in a small and shabby house in the middle of nowhere. She was very lonely and always looked forward to the weekly visit of the team from the Brug. It was the highlight of the week for her. Every week she received a food package that she could use again for a while. On our travels to Kosovo, our team always paid a visit to this special woman and we were allowed to sing for her and bless her. She always enjoyed this to the fullest.

Last Friday the team of the Brug visited her again but discovered that she had passed away, an intensely sad moment. In July we will go again with a team to Kosovo and we had planned to visit her again, Hatta will be missed…

Playground in India
|
|
In India we support a number of Youth With A Mission children's homes. The team there led by Ramchand also provided aid in the slums. They do this by handing out food and bringing the Gospel. Now last year they started building a school in one of the slums in order to break the circle of poverty. A fantastic project where construction is almost finished.

|
One of our loyal sponsors has given a wonderful gift to set up a playground for the children. Ramchand is very happy with this and will soon have the playground installed. We hope for many hours of fun for the children!

A whole village happy
|
|
As you may know, clean drinking water is scarce in India. Especially now that the temperatures are so extremely high, 45-50 degrees, there is a great need for clean drinking water. A water pump was donated via our webshop last week, which helped an entire village in India. What an impact this has on many people!
|
|
|
|
For only €900 you can buy a water pump for a village in India, this can be done via our webshop https://projectheld.nl/webshop/. In addition, it is also possible to donate a sewing machine, food packages, tools and food ball shoes to one of our children's homes. You make the difference!
