Update December 20
Hello dear friends!
We have meanwhile arrived safely in Germany. We are currently sitting on the train and are on our way to see Marco's parents. We look back on the past year with great gratitude. Much has happened in the last few weeks for which we are really grateful:
Hope Project:
The Christmas campaign of our Hope Project was very well received. We received donations for 513 Christmas packages. Many thanks to everyone who made this possible. We are really excited!
We still had to clarify a few things with the tax office, which delayed everything a bit. But now we have found a way and the distribution can start. Thanks to your generosity, numerous children and families can experience a wonderful Christmas despite this challenging time. Thank you very much!
Center of Hope:
There is great news here too: The BPV Architects have now worked out a design and a building concept for the Center of Hope and presented them to us. It turned out super nice and with a lot of love for detail. We are more than thrilled and totally grateful! Unfortunately we can't share the result with you yet, but we will soon.
Before our flight to Germany we were able to push ahead with the establishment of our organization in Kenya. At the end of November we had the constituent meeting. We then submitted all the documents to the relevant authorities and hope to be registered here as soon as possible.
Outlook and thanks:
Unfortunately, we don't have dates in Germany to present our work this time due to Corona. On January 8th we will fly to Kenya again.
At this point we would like to thank everyone who supports us with finances, prayer or practical support. Our work in Kenya would not be possible without you - thank you very much!
Finally, we wish you a Merry and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Best regards
Marco and Joy
