Congratulations to the Groenewegen family from Canada on the adoption of our little Precious (Prea). We can see how happy she already is with her forever Mommy and Daddy. Tim and Wendy, we know that Precious will bring joy and excitement into your family and will bless you with her presence as much as she has blessed so many people at Hope House. God bless you all.

Amie Harms very kindly organised a Noah’s Ark fund-raiser at Willow Creek Animal Farm which brought a good sum of money. This was in honour of their son, Noahs birthday. All those who attended had a wonderful time and it was a great idea. Thank you so much to Amie, Lannon and Epicdev for arranging everything, including numerous sponsors and also to Willow Creek Animal Farm for hosting the event.

In April we celebrated the 3rd anniversary of our registration as a Non-Profit Organisation with a Mad Hatters’ Tea Party at the Nels house. A HUGE thank you to Mel and her family for all the trouble they went to in decorating the garden and hosting our team of volunteers. It was a fabulous afternoon.

We apologise for the lack of updates on this blog, but this post should bring you up-to-date. There have been no adoptions since May 2016, either local or inter-country. This resulted in an influx of babies during the year as we had four pending adoptions which were on hold. Some of the new babies went back to their mothers and two were placed with other families. The two sisters who had been with us for over 2 years went to live with grandparents locally in December. From
