A Tour of Casa Esperanza of Angels

We visited the orphanage the last week of January, 2019.   A lot has changed since that time.   The house being built for Save Asian Souls' girls is well underway.  It is on the left.

The first house for children has five children (including the house parents' boys) but more children are being processed into the system to come soon.   Permission from a mother who has deserted the children is needed by the government requirements even though the children are spread out in the homes of uncles.  

We arrived on Wednesday so the devotional for Wednesday night was held in the new tent constructed for worship services.    After the devotional, the children sang songs and recited Bible verses.   They behaved well and were all happy to meet us.

We took a walking tour of the grounds to see the beautiful banana plants loaded with bunches of bananas, papaya trees full of fruit and many other plants and trees that provide the tropic beauty to this once sugar cane field.    

Ronald and Gigi live in a one room cottage that will later be the laundry room with a commercial washer and dryer for large items, such as bedding.   Soon they will build the first two-bedroom guest cottage that they can use for themselves and the office as it will be years before funding can be secured for the administration building which will have an office for the director, assistant director and social workers.   

The permanent electrical poles outside the orphanage bring the lines along the wall around the property so there are no overhead power lines. View from inside the tent during the worship service.  

THE OPENING SERVICE OF THE CHURCH OF CHIRST ON THE ORPHANAGE GROUNDS - MARCH 15, 2020 

The beautiful tent will be used until someday when a permanent multi-purpose building can be constructed to the right of this tent.  

The first worship service for the church of Christ opened for the public was held on March 15.   The newly installed equipment worked well for the power point sermon delivered by Ron Brown.  There were 19 in attendance.   

The fruit orchard will be watered by an irrigation system designed for water from rain, runoff from houses, and overflow water from the septic tank.    Someday when funds permit, the administration building with apartment for the director will be built at the far end of the fruit orchard on the left. .  There will also be a fish pond at the end of the property on the right.   Roads and walkways will be constructed throughout the grounds.  There is a systematic plan for every phase of the work for future years.
