... it's growing!

Here is an update on the 'Farm of Hope' project!
Somebody once said: "The soil in Thailand is so rich that all it takes is a drop of water, and something grows!" We realize this is true, check it out!
















All of these delicious & organically grown vegatables will eventually end up here... in the kitchen and feed...
... 47 active & growing children and 6 caregivers at House of Hope!

Our agriculture project

This year we are trying out a new agriculture project at House of Hope. Since we have a lot of good soil, we have decided to try and grow most of the vegetables we need at the center. The rainy season started earlier than expected this year, so we have already started!

A new ceiling

The second floor at the main house, where the youngest boys sleep, underwent some slight renovation in March. We are truly grateful to our sponsors who made this project a reality!
Before...

After!

After school...






The children usually have long school days. They leave House of Hope around 07.00 A.M and don't return before 5 P.M. Before they have dinner at 6 P.M. they shoer and do their own laundry. However, they still find time to play a fair game of football or practice some new songs on the guitar!
