About this Fundraiser

Trip Cost: $3,600
Application Deadline: REGISTRATION CLOSED

Hear The Cry and A Jesus Church have partnered with Hands of Hope for the last 10 years and will be sending a team in August to Harare, Zimbabwe to help meet the needs of the poor, the orphan and the widow.

Hear the Cry supports four orphan homes in the community and each year as we return the children from these orphan homes, as well as the community, look forward to VBS (Vacation Bible School). This summer our trip will consist mainly of VBS and skills training.

Many of the orphans supported by Hear The Cry are aging out of the homes and there is a great need for further schooling and opportunities to work. We are going to work intentionally to provide skills and create job opportunities. Specifically, we will use whatever skills our team has to offer (last year we hosted a basketball camp, taught in schools, and did an infant massage training class). This year, we are looking at the possibility of opening a coffee shop, doing a med clinic, and telling stories via social media (videos, photos, etc), and would invite you to bring your skills and talents to make a difference.
