Congratulations Monica!

Today is a big day for Monica Mathew - she has just completed 12th standard! What a relief to be finished with high school! She is all smiles today and her mother, Sangita couldn't be more proud. Monica has spent a lot of her time working at House of Hope during the last several years. The children love her very much!

Monica wants to be a teacher, so she will start teacher training school in June. She will also be working part time in Bright Star Education as the UKG teacher assistant. She has grown up to be a beautiful young lady and we are excited for this next season of her life!

Congratulations Monica!
We love you and are so proud of you!

Introducing Baby Esther

Esther
Born April 19, 2011
Weight 2 kg
Our newest addition to House of Hope is tiny baby Esther! There was some confusion over her name. The staff had the privilege of naming her. First they chose Hope, then Hosanna, but finally they settled on Esther. Esther's mother is also at House of Hope. As soon as she gave birth, the mother and baby were abandoned by their family. A social worker brought them to House of Hope. We are very thankful for this new life and excited to have her in our family!
