In 2008, Ten Friends developed a special relationship with the Hopeful Home Orphanage (HHO) and helped them to purchase a new home. An activities manager was hired to give the children more structure and routine. In 2009, we hired a full-time activities director and tutor. A donation of $240 will provide one child a school sponsorship for one year. Read more about the Hopeful Home Orphanage. |
