Near end of Rainy Season in Liberia

Our team members are now all re uniting back in Liberia as the rainy season is coming to an end. We are excited that our friend Solome who is the Director of The Gold Child orphanage in a Displaced Camp,will soon have a new home to bring the children into thanks to the many people who helped raise finances for her new facility. She has waited 6 years for a home for these children and her family. She has been such an amazing leader with in her community as we have watched her through out the years give to all those in need around her. She has struggled to just survive herself, yet continues to give of her self to who ever needs her help. She started a school on her own for 300 children in this displaced camp, that will continue even after she moves. She now has the faith to start another school in this new area where we are building her dormitory. This new area has no school and she has such a heart to see these neighboring children educated. She already has a full plan in mind for this. She is a perfect example of what we are looking for as we use our resources appropriately. We love helping those who we see will duplicate everything we do for them. They are truly leaders within their own communities.

We have many neat things coming for this fall with a lot more Capacity Building (animal farming, agriculture, and micro enterprising) too. Stay tuned on the Orphan Relief and Rescue web site.
