The orphanage in Paterson

By coincidence, I visited a Paterson orphanage a few years ago. This is run by Peggy and her daughter Bulelwa. It is her private home and accommodates a total of 9 children aged 2 to 13 years. I know all the children's stories and I can assure you that no child should go through something like this!

Thanks to your support, we were able to provide food. 
During a visit to the orphanage, guests decided at short notice to

to buy a washing machine. 

Other guests bought a gas stove. 
And so many have supported the orphanage with food and clothing. 
A big thank you to everyone!!

The foundation for the stones has been poured

My sister, Britta Heidtke, runs a toy shop in Scharbeutz. 
The "Beach Flea Jo". For the 5th anniversary she held a raffle. 
She donated the proceeds (an impressive €1,500!) to the orphanage. 
The money will be used for an extension. 
At the moment the kids sleep in 2 rooms. Peggy, her daughter and another child share a room with one bed. There is really no space. 

07/18/2022:
The first walls have been erected.

Now two more rooms can be built. 

The kids will be accommodated in one room. 
The second room is used as a kind of playroom. 
Peggy would like to take in children during the day to earn money for groceries.

I think that's a step in the right direction. 
According to the motto: help for self-help. 
It's still a long and rocky road, but Peggy will make it - thanks to your support!

 

Would you like to support Peggy and the orphanage?
Of course it works!
