“One of our missions is taking young people who would normally be hanging out on the streets wasting countless hours and instilling in them trades which years down the road can be used as a means of building their own homes or using these skills to provide for their families. These young men are eager to learn and always ready to lend a helping hand.

What We've Achieved
We are in the beginning stages of bringing back to life what once was an orphanage back in the 70's- 90's and creating it to be a home base for evangelism through Bible studies and outreach. We are job training to bring hope to a needy people who would other wise be lost in the shadows of life.

The condition of the property when we received it March 2016.
Now the work begins.
Someone had filled all the drain lines with cement.
We had to remove four big trees that were leaning against the front wall after the earthquake of 2010. The wall will be re built during our August trip 2016.
Almost three dump truck loads of trash was hauled away.
As you can see the side wall was rebuilt (damaged from the earthquake) during our March 2016 trip. The wall to the left is the front wall that needs to be re built. We also had to dig out 5 feet of dirt in order to re build both walls.
Beginning to take shape.
The last thing to be done was installing our beautiful new front gate.
