Grounds of Hope is Inaugurated

gfh The new sheltered housing community for twenty women who have not healed was inaugurated in early April, and the women have moved in.  They have small business loans and vegetable gardens onsite.  Another piece of land is being purchased to help them grow staple crops. 

In the picture to the right, you can see the women sewing in their new setting.

Lyn Lusi writes: "I visited last week unannounced and took these pictures. I was impressed by the peace of the place, and the women working hard, and the vegetable garden. They told me they are going to the local church, and they have a good relationship with their neighbors."

Thank you for your gift of this place of hope and healing!
