"Bon dia Maun, Bon dia Mana", 24 children came out to greet the visitors a good morning. These are no ordinary kids - they are kids without parents but are facing their world with a big smile each day. Hope Orphanage is the place they lived in and family is everyone. I was priviledge to have visited it and so have others and it's just mind-boggling how much the founders loved the children, or rather THEIR children. Isa and Ina, the founders, went through quite a lot to start the orphanage and to keep it going. With 3 children of their own to take care of and running Timor Sun, a local English newspaper, it's not easy but Hope prevailed(even with the amount of bills per month). In case you think the newspaper business is giving them tons of money, it isn't but like I said, Hope prevails and a guy called Jeremy Ballenger come into the picture.
Jeremy visited Hope Orphanage some time back and started a website for it. He even got the website google advertisements and a PayPal donation system. Like Isa and Ina, he's paying from his own pocket to help Hope and I think the world can take comfort that there is still very much unconditional love around. If you haven't visited the website, click here and help support Hope Orphanage.
These are the people of HOPE. Nobodies in this world, but a big heart for the unknowns of this world. Giving hope to 24 orphans and making them known.
Over 2000 years ago, Jesus said,"...it is more blessed to give than to receive", Acts 20:35.
How true.
