of Gratitude, you will come to the post entitled, “The Next Phase for the Orphanage.”
Up until this time in the orphanage, we
have struggled to supply the kids with food and other daily needs, medical
care, and assuring that they could attend school. By God’s grace and the help
of many kind people, we have been able to build a very nice dormitory for the
children, which has been a huge benefit and blessing.
But now is perhaps the time to think about
the next phase. We believe this orphanage is filling a big need in the
community, and it is a need that will not disappear. Thus, we think that it is
the time to begin to think about the future.
With that in mind, about a week and a half
ago, I wrote to Pastor Joel and the leadership with some proposals that they
should investigate. Today I received their report.
The entire report is a 10-page proposal,
but to get an idea of what we are thinking, here is part of it. We hope to move
ahead with the double initiative of beginning a school, and at the same time
concentrating of a gardening project. These are separate in some ways, but also
complimentary of one another.
Please read and pray:
HOME SCHOOL & GARDENING PROJECT PROPOSAL
DATE: 25th JAN. 2021
Name
of organization: LOG Orphanage Home
PROJECT
TITLE: LOG
Orphanage Home School and Gardening Project
Project
Proposal Title: LOG
School and Gardening Project Proposal
Proposal problem:
Need
to have school for orphan children and garden to produce food products for the
children.
Description of Problem
LOG orphanage Home fosters Orphans and
needy children from the surrounding communities. Because of the swelling number
of children of this kind, public schools that are supposed to cater for keep
complaining of congestion in classrooms. This ends up at mistreating and
mishandling of the children we send to these schools from our orphanage home.
This necessitates that we have a school for our centre, where the children can
learn without disturbance or mistreatment. Besides school administration, other
children keep teasing them. This may affect their learning.
Secondly, sometimes food staffs are
expensive and purchasing food for all of them is cumbersome because of this the
centre leaders were of an opinion that the orphanage start a gardening project.
This project apart from being a source of food materials for the children it
will also be a learning resource for them. If expanded, it can also be a source
of the orphanage home income.
Way
forward
To liaise
with possible sponsor(s), friends
and well-wishers for possible funding. This will help to start a school that
will gradually grow over time and alongside also start a gardening project that
will also grow overtime.

OUTCOME
