Good News from Brook of Hope Home:
Celebrating Our Students and Our Supporters!
Dear friends and faithful supporters,
Greetings from all of us at Brook of Hope Home! We hope this message finds you well and encouraged in these wintery days.
As we begin this new year, we are filled with gratitude and joy. This month our 60 students returned to school to begin a new academic year. We are so proud to share some wonderful news: every single one of our students passed their exams and moved on to the next grade!
This is a significant achievement for children who come from such vulnerable backgrounds. To keep the positive momentum going, BHH Zambia spent the day joyfully distributing new books to all our students. We are bursting with pride and share our congratulations to all our students. Their hard work has truly paid off!
The students are attending school with proper school shoes, uniform, backpack and necessary school supplies. Your prayers, your generosity, and your faithful support are truly changing lives and have helped equipped these children for success.
We pray for God’s continued blessings, wisdom, and good health over each student as they dive into their new books and pursue their education. The future is bright!
Donor Spotlight: Belen
We are excited to share another special moment with you, our latest Donor Spotlight video was just published. This video, linked below, features one of our monthly supporters who shares from her heart about why education matters so much and why she chooses to stand with the children of Brook of Hope Home. We hope her story encourages you as much as it encouraged us.
This brings us to a small but important ASK. We would love to feature more of you in future Donor Spotlight videos. If you would be willing to share a short testimony about why you support Brook of Hope Home and why these children matter to you, it would mean so much to not only us, but to other donors who may be inspired by your story. Even a written statement or two would be great. Your voice can help us spread this mission even further!
We also want to invite you to help us spread the word. Please feel free to forward this newsletter to friends and family and share our posts on Facebook and Instagram (links below). Increasing awareness helps more people discover what God is doing through Brook of Hope Home and helps more children receive hope and opportunities for a brighter future. Thank you.
Birthday Cards Program
“Hot off the press”
We are starting something new and very dear to our hearts. Each month, we will be posting the birthdays of our students and inviting you to pray for them. If you would like, you can also write a short word of encouragement or blessing. On each child’s birthday, our program manager will print out your messages and give them to the child inside a birthday card. For many of our children, this will be the first time they receive such personal words of love and encouragement from people who care about them. And I am sure most, if not all, have NEVER received a birthday card before. They will cherish it for years. More details will be shared in the next newsletter.
Please know how deeply grateful we are for you. We are so proud of our children and we are so thankful for you, their extended family around the world, who make all this possible.
With sincere thanks,
Debra DiPaola
President, Brook of Hope Home
On behalf of the BHH team
