Today is the start of our Christmas Party Appeal 2015! Last year was a great success with kids and guests from the community having a fantastic time. This year we want to do the same, so today we’re launching our advent joke appeal; each day we’ll be posting a corny Christmas cracker style joke or cartoon and we want you to share the post with your friends and loved ones — while at the same time clicking on the donate button! It costs just £4 to provide each Child of Hope child with a present, party food AND a new pair of shoes!

Moses is the head boy at our school and is in the last year of the school (P7) – but before he started at the school he seriously doubted if he would survive a serious infestation of jiggers.

Since Rose approached Child of Hope’s Income Generating Activity team in 2013 for a business grant and training – to set up a small business selling vegetables – she and her husband have been able to purchase a small plot of land where they will build a home one day.
