The Village of Hope - August 14th - with children.

PRAISE GOD - as was said at the end of the last 'Race Across Australia,' "the race is not really over until we see smiling faces in the homes". Well now there are now 18 lovely orphans in the two homes of the Village of Hope. They are cared for by two wonderful matrons - Agnes and Lois (great biblical names). For Damian, Joel and Johann it was an awesome priviledge to see these children and their smiling faces in the Village of Hope 4 hours after they landed in Uganda, after 24 hours of travelling. The site looks great and Robert and Ivan have been doing some great work on behalf of HopeBuilders International. What we are witnessing now is a testament to all the prayers and hard work of many, the board members and the three teams that have already invested much in this work. We look forward to the future teams and the ability to complete more homes so that more of these wonderful orphans can be part of the campaign to "Break the Cycle of Poverty".
