New Region - Tigrey, Mekele - for Children's Hope Ethiopia

Children's Hope International is very excited to announce, effective June 1, 2008, we have expanded our development aid, orphan sponsorship and adoptions into Northern Ethiopia - Tigrey, Mekele.

A small transition home and its staff will care for the children to be placed for international adoption through Children's Hope from that region. Additional staff will be added in the months to come.

We will be working in partnership with Hope Community Service, with whom we have had a very fond relationship with for several years. "The director and his wife are such God fearing individuals and are doing a tremendous work of God in the Mekele Region," says Sharon Turner, Ethiopia Program Director.

This orphanage is featured as one of our development aid projects on our web site, www.HelpAnOrphan.org. We will also be working closely with Operation Rescue.

"There is much to do to become fully operational," says Turner. "We are humbled by the work that the Lord is allowing us to do in Ethiopia, and the people whom he as put in our path to walk and work beside us. To God be the glory."
