Back to School

The main objective that we have at the Hope Center is to keep the orphans from starving - giving them food they would otherwise be unable to attain. But along the way there are other needs that we can meet. Here are some of the Hope kids outfitted for school.
Though not a primary goal of the Hope Center, as funds are available we will seek to get each school-aged orphan into the government school.
In order to get into school the children have to pay fees and they must have a school uniform plus shoes. All this adds up to a hefty sum of about $100 per year - way out of the reach for many of the families who've taken these kids into their homes.

Cornerstone's junior and senior high students are going to be raising money for the Hope Center. The funds raised will go to make sure each child can enter school. All the money raised in addition to these costs will go toward food and other essentials for the children. For a minimum of a $25 gift donors receive a Hope Center T-shirt and a picture of one of the Hope Center kids.

Pray that from our youth a great gift will be given to the ministry of the Hope Center kids.
