My husband and I and our two children, Isaac (5) and Jubilee (2) are visiting Love and Hope Children’s Home for 2 1/2 months. We live in Colorado and have visited the home 3 other times. It has been one of our greatest pleasures in life to get to know the children here and watch them grow. On arriving we were happy to find the new location to be a refreshing and beautiful change.
While we are here we hope to put our hands to work in many ways. This week Seth has spent time cleaning up the back courtyard and we are preparing a place for the children to have a vegetable garden. We are also hoping to assist with introducing some art and craft skills (painting, sewing, crocheting) as well as independent sports and activities to the kids. They are all so creative and unique and we are eager to watch them take on new interests. Spending time with the kids in smaller groups and giving them time outside of the their routine is always a true joy. We are stepping forward to take on more responsibilities that will relieve some of the heavy load others are carrying down here.
We always come home learning far more from the children than we can ever offer them.They are our most treasured friends and we are blessed to come and visit them.
