DOMINICAN REPUBLIC Widow/Orphan Domestic Cen- ter—Initiate a feeding program and continue to explore facili- ties for and operation of an orphanage for 50 displaced Haitian/street children. A mission team of two—David Grimes and Chad Spencer— from New Day Church, Kansas City, Missouri, visited Abba House in Entebbe, Uganda in early November of 2012. David, an architect, and Chad, who works in construction, visited and assisted other Uganda orphanages and made a trip to inspect the Abba House on which the mis- sionary quarters would be added. They pro- vided insight and drew plans for building in the rooms and constructing the roof, so it will all tie in structurally. While there, they saw the need for cleaner water. David purchased two Bio-sand water filter units for the homes. David and Chad also connected us with an orphanage in Tororo where we will be able to glean helpful information from their program which will help us enhance our program. Abba House children look on when the water filter systems were received. House of Friends provided funds to feed 80 children at a Christian school for destitute and orphaned children in La Vega, Dominican Republic. Moreno, our volunteer repre- sentative there, wrote “Thank you for making that day for those kids possible—to see the joy in their faces, have no price—may God bless you.” Eighteen of the children were orphans. Plans are in progress to give assistance to the 18 orphaned children. Friends of House of Friends provided a new home for one of the Jerusalem Church leaders, Jesus, and his family. God is faithful to His. He uses us to help one another. The family was re- ported to be soooooo grateful! Le Vega Dominican Republic
