Hi everyone! Welcome to my blog about the Goat and Sheep farm project at United Hearts! As many of you know, I volunteered at United Hearts Children Center for the first time in 2009. It was a life-changing experience, and I have since returned 3 more times. I just can't stay away from the beautiful children, the friendly people and the heartwarming environment.

Here is a little information on United Hearts:
"United Hearts Children Center is an orphanage situated in the rural area of Bawjiase, Central Region, Ghana. Pastor Paul Elisha Asamoah started a center in 2007, welcoming 5 children in his home and selling many of his possessions to provide for them as well as for his 3 youngest children.
Since those humble beginnings, UHCC now counts 27 children as part of a fully functional home. Pastor Elisha and his team are making sure these abandoned children are raised in a loving and caring environment. In 2011 a new building was constructed and since the center has running water, electricity and 2 fishponds. They also grow cabbage, yams, carrots, maize and eggs.
United Hearts believes that through connecting local children with sustainable resources, we will create a self sufficient community of healthy, educated adults committed to the future development of Bawjiase."

All of the progress at United Hearts has been accomplished through fundraising, donations, the hard work of Pastor Elisha and his staff, and the help of Mama Hope and volunteers. See what a difference we have all made in the lives of these children:
The Old Building...4 rooms for all staff and children, including Pastor Elisha and his family.
The New Building - room for all 27 children plus staff, Pastor Elisha and family AND additional children in need of a home.
The old toilets, outside.
The new toilets, inside with running water!
However, United Hearts still needs our help to become a fully sustainable organization so that they can continue provide adequate nutrition and education to children in need. With little to no assistance from the government in Ghana, United Hearts relies almost completely on donations to continue running. Therefore, establishing a goat and sheep farm will help United Hearts achieve their vision of sustainability.
The goat and sheep farm will provide a reliable form of income to assist with the monthly expenses of the Center, as well as proper protein for the children, which is expensive in Ghana. With our help, UHCC can continue to provide adequate nutrition, education, love and a safe home to even more children. Please help us reach our project goal of $5,000 by making a tax deductible donation here.
And to motivate you even more to donate to this great cause, here are some pictures of the cutest kids EVER!
