News From Kenya
We are currently raising money for water, food and school fees/supplies for the next school year. H2H is also continuing to improve the cook house and plans to build an outdoor bread oven so bread can be made on site. The bread oven is expected to cost about $300 for the concrete and bricks needed to build it and the cook house needs windows and doors costing around $400. You can help support H2H with a donation on our website at h2hintl.org. We also have a link on the website to sign up with Amazon Smile and FredMeyer shopping donation program for more ways to give to the children in need.

The Bonding of H2H Partners
With H2H’s support Samson & Gladys traveled from Kenya to Uganda to meet for the first time with Franklyn & Sara. This was an important bonding experience for all the partners of H2H to work together on one page in making the greatest impact on the children they are helping. Together they attended a pastor’s leadership conference in Mukuno, hosted by Greg & Teresa from Grants Pass, OR. Greg & Teresa were in Uganda visiting their sponsored children, leading a pastors conference and witnessing the transfer of ownership of H2H land to Franklyn and Sara who will make good use of the land.
Love, A Father’s Heart 2018
This years fundraising dinner on April 7th at TapRock was a wonderful testament to what it means to have a fathers heart for children in need. Papa Doc shared his testament of his experiences in Africa with orphan children. Papa Bob and Gloria shared about the many projects going on in Africa and what plans they have for the future of H2H.
Support a Child in Need
