H.E.L.P. Announces Building Projects for 2008

Just three years after the first foundations of the Victory Mission Orphanage were built in 2004 (above), H.E.L.P. International has announced some other phases of the building project that will take place in 2008. Now that the entire boys' dormitory is completed, H.E.L.P. is looking to build a fence around the entire orphanage property to satisfy the remaining building regulations. In addition to a fence, a kitchen facility will be built adjacent to the completed dormitory. Once these two requirements are met, the boys' dormitory will be a functioning home for a up to a few dozen young boys.

H.E.L.P. International does not plan on stopping with only the boys' dormitory, however. Other plans for 2008 include the completion of two new dormitories for girls as well. Each smaller-sized dormitory will house 8 girls, who will share the property's kitchen and dining facility as well.

Other projects for 2008, which do not focus solely on building, are also geared towards helping citizens in Zambia, which is where the Victory Mission Orphanage has been built. H.E.L.P. endeavors to pack and ship a crate from Canada to Zambia, intending to fill it with clothing, medical supplies, furniture, and other miscellaneous items that will be of help in the Gwembe Valley region. H.E.L.P. also intends to use funds to purchase a new vehicle for Pastor Roy, a Zambian man from Maamba who has partnered with the vision of the Victory Mission Orphanage since its beginning. Pastor Roy will use his vehicle to provide services and support to people in the town of Maamba as well as to surrounding villages throughout the Gwembe Valley.

Summary of H.E.L.P.'s 2008 Goals:

Build two girls' dormitories for the Zambian orphanage $20 000

Build a fence and kitchen facility building for the orphanage $17 000

Fill and ship a container for Zambia $15 000

Purchase a reliable vehicle for Pastor Roy $15 000
