Dreaming of a better worldJaap Dieleman
With the desire to do something for the 148 million orphans worldwide that we have, we started Abba Child Care.
"Abba" is the Hebrew word for daddy, and that is exactly what we want to do: give them the love and care of a father and a mother. Based on the biblical commission to take care of orphans and widows, we cast the vision to provide such love and care for at least 10,000 of these children. How do we achieve this dream? We do this in two ways. We are looking for sponsor-parents who are willing to adopt a child for € 25 per month. Click here to read more. In our homes, we offer the children love, care, attention, food and education, so they have a bright future. Initially we had the plan to "Abba Village" but lately we got a much better plan. We are placing the children in adoptive families. In this way we give the child a mommy and daddy, and we give this family a future. We have called this project "Abba Family Homes". You can read all about at the Abba Family Homes page. We believe you will be as excited as we are when you see this wonderful project. Read here the whole magazine. |
Happy Smiles
This video, made in Rajasthan, India, when I visited our kids, captures our heartbeat and passion. Their happy smiles is what we had in mind when we rescued them from slavery. Without any help they were doomed to live in poverty, begging for food, or worse, sold into slavery, or forced into prostitution.
We dream of a better world, and we see the need to help them. We hope you see it too and help us to do something about it. For doing nothing is not an option. And when we all do a little, together we can make a big difference and create lots of happy smiles on the faces of these little ones. Join us to create more happy smiles aroud the word, by sponsoring a child or/and becoming a sponsor of our ministry for the poor. Jaap Dieleman |
