Hearts & Hands International Inc

HEARTS AND HANDS CONTINUE BRINGING MEDICAL SUPPLIES TO THE ORPHANAGE IN HEBEI, CHINA, IT IS A PRIVATELY RUN ORPHANAGE NEAR BEIJING. BECAUSE OF CHANGES IN THE GOVERNMENT, THEY SHUT THE ORPHANAGE DOWN AT THE END OF THE YEAR WHEN COVID-19 HIT CHINA. THE CHILDREN HAVE BEEN DISPERSED TO OTHER ORPHANAGES AND THE FEW REPORTS WE DO GET INDICATE THAT THE CHILDREN ARE DOING WELL. MANY OF THE CHILDREN WE DO NOT KNOW WHERE THEY ARE AS SOME OF THE INFORMATION IS NOT AVAILABLE. THE STAFF ARE STRUGGLING AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THESE LITTLE ONES WERE THE CENTER OF THEIR LIVES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS FOR THE CHILDREN WE HELP THERE AND AROUND THE WORLD. OUR WORK IN KENYA CONTINUES TO GROW. WE ARE EXPANDING AND WORKING WITH THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION TO HELP THE SCHOOLS IN KIBERA SLUM, AFRICA'S LARGEST SLUM. EACH SCHOOL HAS HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS WORKING HARD TO MAKE A BETTER LIFE FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES. THERE ARE NEARLY 800 SMALL SCHOOLS (100-300 STUDENTS EACH) ACROSS THE SLUM OUTSIDE NAIROBI. WE WILL CONTINUE TO BRING SUPPLIES, FOOD, WATER, CLOTHING AND VOLUNTEERS TO HELP THESE SCHOOLS AS THEY PREPARE THE NEXT GENERATION OF KENYAN LEADERS! AGAPE HOME, COIMBATORE, SOME OF THE YOUNG MEN ARE LEARNING THE PRINCIPLES AND BASIC ELECTRICAL WIRING TRADE. THANKS TO SOME HELP FROM A RETIRED ELECTRICIAN AND OTHERS ARE LEARNING ABOUT COMPUTERS IN ADDITION TO THE REGULAR SCHOOL CLASS THE SKILLS THEY ARE LEARNING ALLOW THEM TO IMPROVE THEIR LIVES. THE ADDITIONAL TRAINING GIVES THEM VALUABLE SKILLS THAT HELP THEM GET JOBS WHEN THEY GRADUATE FROM SCHOOL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR SO MANY CHILDREN TO MAKE A BETTER LIFE FOR THEMSELVES.
