Last year we made the decision to complete the renovation of the third floor of the Point of Hope Development Center. This capital campaign was called "Breaking through Barriers" and had the purpose of renovating the remaining class-rooms into life-skill development rooms. This was a large under-taking due to the remaining rooms were completely stripped of anything with any value. All of the wiring and wood had been stripped from the walls when the building sat abandoned for several years. Well the renovation has rendered its first completed room!
The donors who have made the Breaking through Barriers campaign a reality need to be recognized for their generous hearts! Thanks to each of you for your support of this project.
In May we concentrated on completing the 3rd floor bathroom. The bathroom is done and looks magnificent. As you can see in the pictures we have added a number of stalls for the kids and 2 sinks. The tile work looks very clean and bright. I am sure the children will love the cleanliness of this room. It is much different than the outdoor restroom they use when not at the Point of Hope Center.

This month we are starting on the sewing or fabrics room. As you can see by the pictures the room is ready to go. I want to ask each of you to remember what this room looked like before the renovation began and then compare to the final product. I think you will be amazed at what your support has done for these children.

The end results will be magnificent! The 125 children we serve on a daily basis will have access to a preschool play area for those times when playing outside are not conducive, a wood-working classroom, and sewing/fabrics classroom, and a cooking classroom. These 4 new rooms along with a new restroom will give our children a chance to develop some valuable life-skills needed to survive in their environments.
ACF is so very thankful to ALL of our supporters for their commitment to these children. The Breaking through Barriers campaign had 2 goals. First, was to raise the $43,000 needed to complete the renovations. The second goal is to raise an additional $17,000 for the ongoing costs of the program for 2 years. We have successfully raised the first $43,000 and are now working on the $17,000. If you feel called to support the completion on this project you can click on the link below to MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
