Antchola gets a new home!

This is Antchola in the doorway of her old home made of sticks and tarps....full of holes that did not keep out the rain or bugs.
 This is the team two weeks ago, getting ready to move Antchola to her new home.
 The team with all of Antchola's belongings.  Can you imagine moving all of your belongings in one trip like this?  As you can see, she also lived on the other side of this ravine from Titanyen, so crossing it every day would get more dangerous as she ages. 
Her beautiful new home with concrete walls, tin roof and a mattress. 
Antchola and her granddaughter!

Thank you to the donors who sponsored her first 6 months of rent and her new mattress!  Because Antchola is in the Artisian program, we will be working with her to teach her how to save money over the next 6 months to provide for her own housing.  Please pray for Antchola and the rest of our elders, that we can continue to provide them with self sufficiency!

Congratulations Pirre!

Many of you that love the ElderCare program, also love Pirre.  Just wanted to give you an update that he got married in 2013 and on December 16, he and his wife welcomed Baby Esdras to the world.  Congratulations Pirre!
