Haiti rebuilding progress - 16/01/2012 11:48

It has now been two years since a devastating earthquake destroyed huge swathes of Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, and the rebuilding process is still ongoing. We're really pleased to report that we-ve completed repairs on most of the schools that we pledged to support, and most recently have finished putting a new roof on the Community of Christ School in DeMichel, an impoverished suburb of Port'au'Prince. Christlene, aged 10, has been going to the Community of Christ School for the last two years. She told us how last year she hated going to school on rainy days as they all had to gather in a small corner of the school which was the only place where the roof did not leak. Christlene has been really looking forward to returning to school this year with a brand new roof, especially as she has an important exam later this year. She has great...

Thank you! - 16/01/2012 11:41

We can't thank you enough for all you have done in the last year to support some of the world's most vulnerable children, but rather than gush at you we'd prefer to let the children speak for themselves. Some of the rescued street children from Kisumu, Kenya, wrote this poem Our brothers and sisters, what a wonderful day, Today we gather to thank you for your generosity, You thought of the vulnerable children and opted to help; Thanks for the revival of the lunch programme for us, We look forward for your continued support and assistance. You denied yourselves comfort Our brothers and sisters have been reintegrated back to their families. You responded loudly from the United Kingdom and now we are fed, clothed, housed. We look forward for your continued support and assistance. Your love for us made you to pity us, You were always close to us and The opportunity for basic education in the centre, We look forward to your continued support and assistance. Brothers and sisters, we bow to thank God, You've been wonderful to us. May God bless you and the work of your hands. Thank you....

Hearing tests in Rwanda - 28/10/2011 10:56

This week, Anna-mai, our Head of International Programmes, has been visiting our Deaf School in northern Rwanda together with Jane, an audiologist from Seashell Trust, to test our children's hearing and fit hearing aids for those who need them. Although they started out expecting to be testing only the children Anna-mai and Jane have had a long and arduous week with so many more children to test than they were expecting, but it has proved completely worth it. They have met many traumatised children: the young girl whose tonsils had been painfully pulled out by a witch doctor using only But for each story of heartbreak, there was another of hope and life renewed. No words can describe how gladdening they found seeing a mother cry tears of joy as her son was fitted with hearing aids and was able to hear properly for the first time in his life....
