I am very grateful to God for all that He has done in my life. He has used every circumstance for His glory. When I was in 3rd year high school I learned about God through Hope for the Island. I was invited by one of my friends who lived at hope for the island […]
In the small neighboring town of Burgos, video games, iPads and Toys R Us are non-existent. Children simply play with what surrounds them. They are taught at an early age to become resourceful. This is a very valuable skill to have living on a remote island.
Skills and education that provide opportunity for employment lead to a decline in poverty. Families in the neighboring village of Burgos struggle to cover basic expenses for Elementary and High School.
Hope for the Island recently partnered with the Municipality of Del Carmen during their Health Fair. The theme tied in with our Prenatal and feeding programs that focus on helping children get a healthy start in life. It excites us to be a part of programs that minister to those in need!
On a cloudy afternoon after Preschool classes were finished, our HOPE team decided to visit the farm and minister in the nearby village of Sto. Nino. That is where we were approved to connect to their water supply and is also one of the locations where our Prenatal Program is located.
