new home, new family

this morning we had the wonderful privilege to take our 9 year old girl to her new home in khayelitsha, she will join 5 other children at one of the homes run by the amazing charity 'home from home'.

whilst it was a sad morning for our house moms and our 8 other children, she was so excited about moving into her new home and meeting her new foster mom. she is the 16th child that we have placed back into the community with either foster, adoptive or their own families which is amazing in the 20 months we have been open as we had little or no hope of placing any of them back home.

with her leaving we have one space in our 9 bed unit to take in another child who we will work with, stabilise their medication and work with our local social services to place them into a new home and the cycle of new hope which our project offers will continue.

please join us as we pray for this young girl as she settles into her new family and pray also for continued links as we look to work with 'home from home' to set up a house in grabouw with them to support the children in our town.

photos show her with her new mom and sisters and her sticking her last photos into her photo album at the village of hope.
