Construction Update
We have completed the laundry house with the exception of exterior paint and downspouts. Georgia and I have moved into the laundry house for our temporary residence until we can accumulate adequate funds to build the family cottage ($15,000 USD). It is extremely tight living quarters for us but we felt it necessary to free up the first children’s home so we can begin operations.
Due to the slow progress of the electrical company we have not yet completed the installation of the permanent 3 phase power. We are hoping this task will be completed very soon.
Progress continues on the 2nd children’s home in coordination with Save Asian Souls (website) to house girls vulnerable to human trafficking.
Casa Esperanza of Angels Orphan Care Facility Grand Opening
The time has finally arrived!
We have tentatively set the date of Oct. 23 for our official ribbon cutting ceremony to signify the operations of Casa Esperanza of Angels orphan care center with our first children’s home!
While it is possible we may begin adding children to the home prior to this event, this is the day we will invite distinguished guests from various sectors to witness the official start of operations.
While we know it is likely only those locally will be able to attend, we wish all our donors could enjoy this special day for Philippine Mission! For those unable to attend we will provide you all with photos, and video of this very special event following Oct. 23.
It goes without saying that this would not be possible without ALL our wonderful, generous donors and supporters! Thank you for being a part of this mission and taking this journey with us to help needy children of the Philippines as well as seek and save lost souls!
