New Hope for Children

For some years St Hilda's has supported New Hope for Children.  This is a charity working with street children in Colombia.

Just recently we welcomed Richard Sanderson and his son to give a presentation on the work.

We learnt they were soon to open a new house for the children in Bogota, we watched a film about the work and heard about their challenges and successes.

The main areas of activity include:

3 Children's Homes for 100 children from 0-Adults,

A school for 185 children. This is for the 100 resident children and 85 others who come from very poor areas of the city. The school is currently ranked "Above Superior", 

Hunger Relief - preparing 600 meals a day, 

The Medical Mission 2011

Humanitarian Outreach - helping many poor families with donations or clothes, food, baby packs etc.... 

Health Care: the last Medical Mission helped almost 6,000 people in 9 days, 

Evangelism: sharing the life changing word of God with the children and others.

We wish them every blessing in their work and look forward to Richard's return to St Hilda's in autumn 2015.
