Farm of Hope
For those of you who have been connected to the charity for a long time you will know that we support the Farm of Hope. This is a place where ex-orphanage and homeless boys can come and get help. The Farm of Hope team hear about potential residents and go and find them in railway stations, sleeping rough or living underground. They bring them back and offer them clothing, food, shelter and above all love. When the boys learn to trust again they help out on the farm learning to grow food and aquiring skills that will help them get a job when they leave. When they arrive they are distrustful and difficult but gradually change as they are loved back into society again.
This worthwhile project continues to grow from strength to strength under the able leadership of Tinel. This project is gaining respect and support through it’s involvement in community activities too. Tinel’s vision for this community is
“New people, new relationships, new skills, new attitudes, new destinies”
Despite the severe drought last year the farm managed to produce good crops both in the fields and the polytunnels, providing food for the boys and also to barter for items such as wood for stoves and pipes for irrigation.
