This rendering by Architect Rafael Hungria is functional but elegant, beautiful but not extravagant. He is a spirit filled musician who loves the Lord and has a real heart for our children's home, and the children of his country, the Dominican Republic

Rear view of children's home
The land for the children's home has been cleaned by the municipal workers at the request of the mayor Mario Gonzales.
This photo looks from the front edge of the property which extends down to the cement light pole at the street below.
Pastor Victor stands on the newly landscaped terrain.
The newly turned earth in the foreground stands in stark contrast to the nearby shack on the edge of Los Humildes, a squatters barrio of 5,000. Many poor mothers and children will be fed daily from this town in our "day program", as God provides us resources to do so.
These siblings just lost their mother, the only parent they had. There is a look of intense inquiry in their eyes. Their elderly grandmother begged us to take them in. When you hear the word orphan, remember their faces. They will remember ours.
The house we are presently renting . Pastor Paulino and his wife and son live here in Pantoja, Santo Domingo with as many orphans as the Lord might send us.
