April 2011

The International Center for Hope had a busy month of April, 2011. 19 needy families came to The Center to receive help with food, clothing and vitamins. Visiting days for the people to come to The Center are Tuesday and Thursday.

Regular activity continues with ICH staff and volunteers working with The Club for Pychological Support--for Foster Parents (they receive psychological support and share their needs with people with similar problems), for Club for Handicapped Children Mothers, and meeting with the orphans that have graduated and have left the orphanages already. On one of the meetings with Mothers of Children with Disabilities, the moms, children, and our social worker organized a celebration devoted to Easter. They sang songs about the resurrection of Christ and made some decorations with their own hands.

Also, 'ICH' has started a new branch of ministry. It is serving in a Children's Home in Izhevsk, volunteering and ministering to the orphans.

The ICH Branch in Votkinsk organized several meetings with volunteers that are getting ready to serve in 'The City Asylum" where many little orphans are living. Also, arranging Summer Camp for kids from poor families is taking place.

We are thankful to God for each of our sponsors, supporters and volunteers. You all are special. Without folks like you, we would not be able to do this task of ministering to these wonderful people.
