Merry Christmas!

We wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year!

This is one of the songs the children were singing during their own Christmas celebration.This year we celebrated Christmas at our new home, with our own made stable. The days before Christmas the children were all busy practising their songs, dances and of course the nativity play.
On December 25th, we were surprised by guests coming to visit our home. The kids loved it, because now they really had someone to perform to and they gave their best !

We are very greatful for everybody who is involved with us and  we are thankful for the people that came and visited and blessed us at Christmas time.  The children enjoyed it so much.

It is so good to know that God loved us so much that he sent His only Son.
And that's why we have reason to celebrate, not only at Christmas time, but all year long!

A big thank you from all of us at House of Hope.

Our new home!

We are so excited, in the first week of December we moved to our new home in Pimpri.

It was a long trip and not very comfortable for the children but the kids didn't mind at all. They really enjoyed the hour long trip for one simple reason: the excitement for their new house!

 Finding a new home for 15 children and staff is not very easy and it made Sangita and I worry a lot, while at the same time we knew things would work out well.It took us a little over a month to find our new home: a bright pink one..

A lot of work still needs to be done, but  that is no problem at all and will come in time. We love the house with 2 bed rooms, bath room, kitchen, play room and living room. We have a garden all around the house, wich is great. The children suddenly do nothing but playing outside. The first few days we removed all the plastic and other dirt from our garden and some children even started to paint the rest of the wall: wich the painters didnt finish.. 

 The children and staff worked very hard to make their new house become a new home. And here it is, we're proud of it. You should come and see!!
