Thank you so much for your faithful support of our organization over the years. Many of you know that we started our Village of Hope Baby House in early 2004. Since that time we have provided food, clothing, diapers, medical treatment, and, most of all, love and affection to babies that would otherwise never know what it meant to be held or loved. Unfortunately, because of new Romanian government regulations, we will no longer be able to operate our Village of Hope Baby House in its current capacity. The Romanian government has passed a law that states children two years old and under cannot be in an institutionalized, or group, setting and that all babies deemed abandoned must be placed in maternal assistance. As a result, we have placed the babies we currently have custody of with our City of Hope families and some of the children have been reunited with their biological mothers.

We are currently in the process of renovating our Village of Hope Baby House to provide additional housing for two more family homes so that we can rescue more children from the streets and also have an outreach for our Life Skills Mentorship program. We will continue to reach out and provide assistance to abandoned babies in the maternity wards of hospitals as well as caring for the babies that are already in our custody. We are thankful that we were given the opportunity to make a difference in these baby's lives and we will persevere in our efforts to bring hope and healing to not only the street children of Romania but to the countless abandoned babies and impoverished families as well. You, our donors, have been an integral part of our relief efforts and we can't thank you enough for partnering with us in our labor of love. May God bless you!

With Much Love and Gratitude,
Angie Thomson, Staff and Children of Orasul Sperantei
