Where there is VISION, there is PROVISION...Hanna's Orphan Home

My friend, Angel, was asked to meet this person, Hanna, while we were in Ethiopia. She didn't know much about her, but arranged to meet her. She came back and couldn't stop talking about Hanna and the good work she was doing for orphan children in Ethiopia. She talked me into going back with her and I am so glad she did. This amazing 41 year old woman (and her husband)are "parents" to over 100 orphaned children. They buy small two room "homes" and fill them with children and a house "mother". She and her husband, with God's grace and provision, provide a home and education for the children. She takes in children that have had a rough past, street children, and children that have been in prison.

Hanna is not content with helping the children she has now, she has a vision for helping many, many more children.

Angel is working on setting up a way that we can help Hanna care for these kids. We were able to sponsor children while we were there, but not everyone can travel to Ethiopia to sponsor a child. I will keep you posted! In the meantime, watch this video (by Angel) to meet Hanna and some of her kids. You will be inspired!!
