Hope Station has officially begun a partnership with a second orphanage! On May 28th, Hope Station, CRDF, and local authorities all gathered together to commemorate this new partnership with a Launching Ceremony. We first connected with this orphanage in April, and things moved quickly. By mid May, we had visited twice and fallen in love with their staff and children. All agreed that this would be a fabulous partnership that would benefit the children exponentially. The orphanage has about 18 children, ranging in ages from 5 months to early teens. Some are regularly attending school, and others are living out their days at the orphanage. We are so excited to get to know each one of them on a deeper level and share their precious stories with you. The Launching Ceremony itself was a huge success! Special shoutout to a few donors who sponsored this event for us. Thank you! Those in attendance at the event included Hope Station staff and volunteers, staff from CRDF, and 2 local officers. There were a few speeches, and then we officially signed the program agreement. At the orphanage, we gave a collection of childcare items like diapers, wipes, toys, blankets, and more. After a tour of the facility, the kids joined us for about 10 minutes before naptime. We handed out goodie bags and hugs to each one of them. It was an amazing day... Some of you will know how monumental this was for Hope Station. We've been on such a journey, and all we've ever wanted is to reach as many kids in orphanages as we can. This Launching Ceremony was a time to see everything come together: the generosity of our donors, lots of hard work, and years of waiting and hoping. Hallelujah for His faithfulness!
Watch for another blog post soon as we get to know the new kiddos!

A note from Rebekah...If you've ever wondered what it would be like to start a nonprofit from the ground up, to open a home for ORPHANS with special needs in Asia, you've come to the right place. Archives
