At Orphan Outreach, our goal is to help each of our supporters respond to whatever it is God has called them to do. For some, that is serving as a prayer partner, and for others it’s participating on a mission trip. For Mrs. Pamela and Dr. Darold Opp, God invited them to sponsor 100 children around the globe.

We loved getting to see many friends and children we serve in India. We are looking forward to the day we can return to see them all face to face. Until then, we continue to pray for the overwhelming challenges the country has been facing due to the pandemic and for the health and safety of the children and families we serve there!
Next week, Guatemala travels to us to share with us stories of hope and transformation!

This week, India has visited us for Mission of Hope!
India is the second-most populated country in the world with about 1.3 billion people. Some know India for its amazing spices, rich culture, colorful festivals, and diverse languages. However, did you know that at 22 million, India has the largest number of children who are orphaned anywhere in the world? One in every ten Indian children will be orphaned in their lifetime.
Child abuse and trafficking are widespread. In addition, India has the highest number of child brides in the world. It is also estimated that 60,000 children are born with HIV each year, and 170 million children are considered at-risk due to poverty, abuse, and malnutrition.
Orphan Outreach responds to the needs of orphaned and vulnerable children by providing support, restoration, security, and hope by meeting the needs of the orphaned, abused, neglected, and overlooked children and young adults in India.

This year, classes have looked different due to the pandemic. However, we continue to serve the children here. They have enjoyed their online classes and learning through the computer various subjects.
Thanks to you, they have the opportunity to get a quality education where they are loved, supported, and encouraged.
How fast can you solve a Rubik’s Cube?
Our kids love getting to have a friendly competition to see who can solve the Rubik’s Cube the fastest!
Today, let’s visit our House of Grace home (Dar-Ul-Fazl).
House of Grace (Dar-Ul-Fazl) is a private home serving children who are orphaned or at risk due to abuse, neglect, or extreme poverty. Our home provides complete physical, emotional, and spiritual care for both children and young adults.
Located on the same property, Rainbow School opens its doors to both the children from House of Grace and to those living in the neighboring community. The school teaches preschool through 8th grade and has been lauded for its commitment to educational excellence.
We love getting to see our kids enjoy this time together even after a hard year! Even though we continue to experience overwhelming challenges in the country, Orphan Outreach has been diligent in their efforts to keep our children and families we serve safe and healthy.
Our kids love having fun! Although it has been a hard season for many, we continue to enjoy the little moments that we get to spend together as a family here in Gan Sabra!

Ukraine is a wonderful country with rich culture and beauty all around! We loved getting to see our young adults experience many joyful moments together and continue to thrive as they navigate the transition into independent living. We look forward to visiting them again soon! Until then, we will continue to pray, serve, and advocate.
Next week, India travels to us with stories of hope and transformation! It’s not too late to register for our Mission of Hope Digital Passport if you haven’t yet! The link is in our bio!
We have loved having you join us here in Ukraine! We hope your Friday is full of joy. May our fun dance moves put a smile on your face! ????
When we meet in Dnipro, we teach our young adults important life skills by discussing various topics such as time management, goal setting, meal preparation, budgeting, and developing healthy relationships.
The meeting provides a time where they can feel comfortable asking questions and grow in their understanding of certain topics in a caring and safe environment.
Have you ever wondered how to make dumplings? Today, a few of our young adults are learning how to make dumplings! They enjoy getting to spend time together as they learn how to budget, go grocery shopping, and cook new meals!
Fun fact – This dumpling recipe is included in our Mission of Hope Deluxe Passport! If you’ve not registered for our Mission of Hope Digital Passport, there’s still time to join and make these yummy dumplings at home!
Football (soccer ⚽️) has become a fun tradition here! These boys enjoy playing together, and they have learned a lot from the experience. From technical skills to personal development, these guys learn important disciplines through football that translate to positive, formative life skills.
Not only do these boys play soccer together periodically, but they spend time together outside of training and playing to hang out. Last week, they got together to watch the European Championship and cheer for their favorite team! Did you watch the Championship? Who were you cheering for?
Learning how to navigate life as an adult is challenging, especially for kids who have aged out of traditional orphan care. Our Aging Out Initiative here in Ukraine focuses on the holistic care of young adults who have aged out of traditional residential care in Dnipro. Through this program, deep friendships develop as we walk alongside them. We all become more than friends – we become family.
We love celebrating birthdays here in Ukraine! ????????
A few of our young adults celebrated their birthdays, and we got to enjoy spending time with them!
Thanks to you, these young adults are known, loved, and celebrated!

Ukraine is the second-largest European country with beautiful historical cities and landscapes! This week, Ukraine is our next destination on our Mission of Hope journey!
Did you know that in Ukraine there are 600,000 children are in families considered at-risk or vulnerable and of those 6,000 are orphaned? In addition, 20% of all children in the child protective system have special needs or disabilities. There are no resources needed to help them transition into independent living.
As a result, our desire is to provide safe, nurturing support for our young adults who are orphaned or have special needs or disabilities as they leave the child protective system.

What an honor it is to serve in Nepal, to provide care for children at the Godawari Education Center, and to have the opportunity to reach into the community with expanded care during this most challenging season.
We are thankful for prayer, for sponsorship, for partnerships that allow us to step into the lives of others even when we can’t physically journey to the countries.

It’s time for you to sponsor Niroj!
He wants to be a doctor, and he loves science classes in school. Niroj lives with his mom and two brothers in the Godawari Slum, where she is a day laborer who does her best to provide for her boys.
At the Godawari Education Center, Niroj receives help with his studies—especially Nepali, which is a struggle for him. Your sponsorship will ensure he continues to get the educational, physical, and emotional support he needs to thrive. This future doctor is ready to have a sponsor who believes in his future enough to help his present-day life too.
Meet Niroj and say “yes” to sponsorship today! His link is in our bio.
Thank you for your loving support of Godawari Education Center in Kathmandu! We hope to one day see your smile as you visit us in Nepal!
Now we are at the home of Sunny, one of our students at Godawari Education Center. Bringing cameras into homes is a rare thing, and it can be a bit unnerving. But our families are so kind to speak to us because they are thankful for all that has been provided to them, thanks to you.
Let’s visit the village of Godawari slum in Kathmandu. This is our first stop—the home of Saroj and Niraj, two students who are part of Godawari Education Center.
Hello from Nepal! We were able to distribute educational materials to each of the 50 children at Godawari Education Center through your financial support! Each educational material package included grade books of new academic sessions, exercise books, a geometry box and school supplies.
We are very grateful to Orphan Outreach for your continuous love, prayers and support towards the children of our community. We would also like to express our gratitude to the government officials, parents, and teachers for being a part of this program. What a blessing this is!
Most of us know Nepal for the stories of expeditions to Everest, but the country is far more than base camps and summits. Nepal is one of the world’s poorest countries, and it’s also one of the youngest—with 44% of the population under the age of 18. Traffiucking is a significant challenge, and children are often the victims of both labor and sex trade. But in the community of Godawari near Kathmandu, hope is being restored. A community program offers kids educational support, nutritious snacks, mentorship, and a safe place to find friendship. And in the midst of the pandemic, Godawari Education Center has become an outpost of care for families too—offering food and supplies in the midst of lockdown. Your support has made a huge impact on the children and families in Nepal, and this week, Nepal comes to YOU on this Mission of Hope!

Latvia is truly an incredible country. And for those of us who have served there, we can’t wait to return to see the kids at the Day Centre, the families at the Family Support Centre, and the young adults in our aging out initiative. Until then, we pray, we serve, we advocate.
Next week, Nepal travels to us with stories of hope for young adults and kids. If you’ve not registered for our Mission of Hope Digital Passport, there’s still time! Remember, we’ve designed the perfect virtual mission trip for you – everything you need is waiting!
When we say you help restore hope in Latvia, we mean it. Your prayers make a difference. Your support makes a difference. Your sponsorships and partnerships make a difference. Even though we can’t be together right now, YOU ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE!
Thank you. God bless you. We love you.
She’s a generous friend. And she would love for you to be her sponsor.
Vika lives with her parents and two older siblings in a two-room apartment. Things aren’t always easy at home, so she finds sanctuary at the Day Centre with her friends. It’s there she receives tutoring, mentoring, and even nutritious meals. She struggles some at school, and the staff at the Day Centre are there to her as much as they can.
Vika’s favorite color is light blue, and she really enjoys drawing and singing. She also enjoys a good hamburger and traditional Russian salad (with potatoes, carrots, and peas).
Everyone who knows her says Vika is a generous friend who is always sharing whatever she has with others. She’s asked if you would pray for her education. She knows it’s important, and she wants to do well.
You can also invest in Vika’s future by being her sponsor. Just $36 a month provides her with the essentials of care she needs—and it connects you with her to offer encouragement throughout the year. Get to know Vika and sign up today!
We just celebrated the end of our “school year” at the Miera Osta Family Support Center. We’ve had a long and challenging year due to the pandemic and all of the restrictions and lockdowns. Our staff had to be so creative and adjust to the norms and restrictions – a lot of activities, classes and consultations had to take place via Zoom, so finally being able to come together and enjoy the fellowship and wonderful weather was such a blessing and treat! We hope you’ll be dancing with us soon!
It’s a perfect time for a play date! Welcome to Jelgava, where some of the young moms in our aging out initiative are getting together to talk and to let their little ones enjoy a great afternoon! We are so thankful for our team in both Jelgava and Liepaja!
This is our speech therapist Ilze working with Karlis (4 years old). Karlis attends our baby school program at the Family Support Centre in Karosta. Because his speech development has been slow and needed some help, our staff provided him individual sessions with the specialists. Karlis has a hard time with many sounds and letters and thus his communication with others is challenging. In order for him to be ready for preschool and later on school, learning all of the sounds is crucial.
There’s one thing we love in Latvia, and that’s CELEBRATING BIRTHDAYS! Several of our young adults celebrate their birthdays and we always, ALWAYS, make time to honor them. We know their passions and hobbies, know their favorite cakes and foods and we make sure birthdays are real special and a fun time of celebration.
Want to learn more about our aging out initiative? You can be a sponsor! orphanoutreach.org/country/latvia
This week, Mission of Hope takes you to Latvia. A country infused with rich culture, artistry, and heritage, Latvia is known for its access to water (the country boasts 12,000 rivers), its incredible architecture, and amazing food. Much has been done in recent years to provide better care for the orphaned and vulnerable. And yet, 6,000 children remained orphaned in the country. And 44% of the children in Latvia face extreme poverty.
That’s why you’ll find Miera Osta in the midst of the struggles of those children. Our NGO in Latvia works directly with vulnerable children and families in Karosta, a former Soviet Naval Port in Liepaja, and with young adults who have aged out of traditional orphan care in Jelgava.
We may not get to travel to Latvia right now, but you can invest in the lives of the children and families we serve. Register now for our Mission of Hope Digital Passport to find out more about Latvia and to learn how you can advocate right now for kids.
