After the earthquake, Forward in Health was faced with an entirely new and unexpected dilemma: 45 orphan boys were left homeless in our community. Recognizing a need to take responsibility for these children's well-being and growth, Forward in Health is pleased to announce the inception of its sister organization, Forward in Hope.

             

     Currently, Forward in Hope'sleaders Sarah Fabian and Debbie Orre are on a two week mission to examine the specific needs of these children and gather biographical information on each child. Forward in Hope will be offering sponsorship opportunities for people in the United States to provide much needed housing, food, and education to these boys.             

      Forward in Health has allotted a section of the clinic property to the orphans, and will be supporting the development of the children however we can. We expect that our initial commitment will provide a safe environment for the boys, and that Forward in Hope will nurture their long-term enthusiasm and motivation. At first, the boys will be living in the semi-permanent housing common in post-relief efforts (under the direction of Lex Edme). As Forward in Hope grows, they will be transitioned into a permanent orphanage and school adjacent to the Forward in Health clinic.

             

     Thank you friends and supporters of Forward in Health, and please direct your hearts and thoughts to Sarah and Debbie, as they strive to create an environment that will allow these children to live up to their fullest potential.
