School Fundraiser!

It has been a while since we updated the blog, but I have been selling handcrafts (made by Sherinah) to support the SNH children!

We would like to help those SNH children who are unable to pay for their school supplies! We also have a few medical needs and miscellaneous needs (i.e. transportation for the SNH staff to check in on the kids, food for one of the children who was abandoned by her parents with her three siblings, and pig feed).

The goal is to raise $300, where $150 will go towards the school supplies for 15 children, $50 to medical needs, and the remaining $100 towards the miscellaneous needs.

If 30 people can donate $10 each, these needs will be funded! Or you could purchase a handcraft and support SNH as well! Donations can be sent via Western Union and the instructions are here. For further questions, email Sherinah at sherinahnewhope@gmail.com

The SNH Printer!

Thanks to a generous donor, SNH was able to buy some items and contribute to the needs of the SNH children. One of the items bought was a printer, due to the need shared here.

Thank you, our dear donor! What a blessing you are SNH, especially the kids. We will be sharing more about SNH's uses of the donation at a later time.

SNH Lending Library

Thanks to some end of the year donations SNH has the start of a loan library. Books and adaptive equipment has been purchased for staff and student use. Textbooks and supplemental resources will assist the children with their studies.

A collection of magnifying glasses of different strengths will enable those with low vision to try them out to find what works best for them.

In addition, a collection of books from Hesperian will help staff understand the needs of those with various exceptionalities and how to best help the village child.

Right now the library is very small but as needs are identified and funds raised more will be added. If you would like to make a donation towards the SNH library, please email sherinahnewhope(at)gmail.com

Lydia Receiving Gifts

6-year-old Lydia is still waiting for a sponsor. Lydia is unable to talk or move and her mother is raising Lydia on her own. But Lydia recently received a gift from a kind donor! And Sherinah delivered the gifts to her.

We hope you enjoy seeing Lydia receive her gifts. And please pray for Lydia to be sponsored quickly.
