April 1, 2023The Vessels of Honor Conference- August 2023
June 5, 2023Warm greetings from SHFF; what an honor to have you as part of what we are doing in transforming lives of the forgotten!
We reached out at the beginning of March with a drive;
“Easter rennovation Joys; a perfect habitat for orphans”
Where we intended to repair the windows, fill up open wall spaces, walls plastering, simple wall painting and floor screeding.
This was to cost a total of $1895, we had saved $549 from the previous beddings drive and therefore needed a total of $1355
As we started the project we realized we needed; to repair & paint beds at $69, 5 extra new beds at $486, 50 mosquito nets at $118, house outdoor finishes at $186, electricity/water bills for 2 months upfront at $136, good friday meal at $194, other Easter gifts at $693.
This pushed our budget target to $3237
We are greatful to God and to you our dear ones for giving over and above the target. We were able to collect $3877 and were able to fully meet the budget. We had a balance of $640: The orphanage had a challenge of school fees; SHFF topped up $650 and took on two boys and paid fees in the boarding section in high school, and other school fees for other orphans for term one, totaling to $1290.
Some even gave gifts in kind; a cake, bananas among others; thank you very much for this!
James 1:27; pure religion is taking care of the orphans; you have done this & heaven is clapping hands.
Proverbs 19:17 says, if you give to the poor, you are lending to the Lord & He will repay you.
