Orphans and Orphanages

About me:

Subscribe to the Blog above.

Spotlight on Orphans is a monthly newsletter that highlights the needs of African orphans and orphanages. Due to HIV/AIDS Africa has orphans, orphans every where. There are more orphans then there are orphanages to hold them. On the streets orphans are caring for orphans. These African orphans need sponsors so that they can be placed in an orphanage.

 

My name is Scot. I am a volunteer for Hearth to Hearth Ministries, a not for profit, nondenominational organization with a sole purpose of helping as many African orphanages, orphans and widows as possible. I am married with four children. We also sponsor five orphans from Africa.

 

I am working on putting together a website about orphanages. If you have an orphanage that you would like listed click on and follow the instructions there on how to get your orphanage featured. Every orphanage that is featured improves the possibility that someone searching for information on orphanages will find your orphanage.

 

We have also started a website on Poverty and Hunger that we would like you to check out and tell us what you think.

My main picture is a picture of my son while he was volunteering for six months helping orphans in Africa. Logan volunteered in Kenya and Uganda Africa. Logan worked at the orphanages in Kenya and Uganda and with the widows programs in Uganda. Hearth to Hearth Ministries has three orphanages in Kenya and one orphanage in Uganda and is helping over 500 orphans.

 

Many of these orphans do not have sponsors yet. All the unsponsored orphans are really putting a strain on the finances of Hearth to Hearth Ministries. Will you please sponsor an African orphan or sponsor a widow's family in Uganda.

 

There are many orphans on our waiting list waiting for the new Glory Children's Center Orphanage to be built so that there will be room for them. The land for the orphanage has been purchased and now we are waiting for the money to be donated for the buildings. The older orphans have already helped dig the foundation for the girls dorm.

 

Now you can make a donation or sponsor an African orphan using paypal. It costs $30 a month to sponsor an orphan. 100% of the money you give goes to care for the orphans. All the staff in the US are volunteers and recieve no compensation.

We really do take what we have for granted. We do not have several starving kids showing up at our door each day asking for a little food and maybe a place to sleep. When my son was helping at an orphanage in Kenya last summer there were 60 starving orphans that came to the gate for food the first day he was there. It broke his heart. He went to town to buy some bread for them. (that was all he had money for) With in three days there were 250 children coming to the orphanage gate for their one piece of bread. He had to stop handing out bread because he didn't have the money to feed the ever increasing number of starving children that came crying at the gate each morning. He wrote us letters asking us to explain to him how we (living in America with three meals a day) could tell him we did not have more money to send him to help him give one piece of bread a day to starving children.

 

Here is a powerpoint made of some letters he wrote home.
