UPDATES FROM THE VILLAGE

I bring seasoned greetings fromt the village! lots of stuff has been happening at the village, thank you for your generous gifts to see the children in school and having a place they call home!

We thank God for the great friends village of hope gets, ever since jeremy and sarah and luke decided to stay with the children, there has been a great improvement in the lives of the kids,they've been great role models to the children.
With luke filming the great work hopebuilders is doing in Uganda and Rwanda, Jeremy and his wonderful wife sarah have embarked on setting up a farm enterprise to benefit the village, through the generous gifts of their church,Jeremy are working day and night to see this farm that will see diary supply the village and even sell some to the community,hence sustaining the project!
The goats and the chicken will have a permanent shelter atlast! we are soo excited about this venture and will do all it takes to see this come to pass!
this village has trully become a great haven for the children!
Plans of settling in the next set of the lovely children is underway! Pray that this whole process shall go smoothly as planned! As you realise the need here is too great! at times we feel getting countless children in the fangs of poverty and risky enviroments,commit hopebuilders into God;s hands! so we can see more villages come up and bless more and more lives!

The selection of mothers is also taking place, pray that the lord will lead us to the right mothers who were predestined for this wonderfull place!
Just like jeremy and sarah and luke,God could be speaking to you to come and be a blessing to his lovely children in Africa, it takes an obedient heart! your gifts can also be a big blessing to see the next set of vulnerable kids get a decent and safe enviroment away from the risky enviroment that greatly affects these precious children. you can even be part of the teams that come to build here!
God richly bless you.
