We did it!

You are amazing! in one week we smashed our target and raised £10,710 to support our medical centre and our after school clubs

As a result of the pandemic we need to extend our opening hours of our medical centre and subsidise the increased amount of patients. This boost of £5,355 will enable our medical centre to meet this increase in demand and give access to healthcare to those most in need.

Our afterschool clubs are shifting to bring educational support to those children who have huge gaps in their education due to the disruption to their schooling since March. Many children are in need of specialist learning support which Hope Gardens can now provide thanks to your generosity.

peace amid the storms

We managed to find some peace amid the storms this week to plant up our #hopegardensindia paddy field for the third time! After a period of fallow to regenerate the soil Archbishop Samuel and the team planted 50kg of rice - it should be ready for Christmas!

Storms hit the region

Vasthi updates us on the strong storms hitting the area

“Our cattle caretaker Mr. Jeyanayagam congregation member of Rehoboth Rhema Revival Church, Cumbummettu has had his house's roof blown up by a severe wind that hit Cumbum last week.

It is raining here daily and the wind is at its peak in the nights. While their family, which consists of himself, his wife, his son, his daughter in law and two grandkids (little girls), were all sleeping by 11:00 pm in the night,  there was heavy rain and a heavy wind and the tin sheet roof of their entire house was blown up and it fell on the roof of another house which was two houses next to his house.

Thankfully no injuries were caused to any of them including the children when the roof and the things attached to it fell on the ground. They immediately came out and went to Rev. Prakash's Church which was nearby and spent the night there. They are staying there and are in a plan to rebuild their roof. Until then Rev. Prakash and Mr. Jeyanayagam's relatives are taking care of the entire family.

God protected all of them in this accident and thankfully they are all safe.”
