Serving with HOPEful hearts...

We know the risks...
.
"They must be sized right or they do not work."
"They can be difficult to breathe through."
"They tend to give a false sense of security."
"They have proven to be ineffective against reduction in transmission."
.
These are risks we're still willing to take. Because we are "Open Hearts for Orphans," and we believe that THIS is where the rubber meets the road in orphan care. If just one life is saved from these efforts to protect against the coronavirus? Then the efforts are worth every cent. We hope you agree.
.
We've now sent over 1,500 n95 face masks, 10,000 nitrile gloves, funded an in-country purchase of 12,000 face masks for a partner NGO, and just yesterday agreed to a matching grant for another NGO to purchase thermoscan units, face masks, and disinfecting supplies for all of the orphanages in their province, despite price gouging and lack of availability in many areas.
.
These people are trying so very hard - for the sake of the orphaned children - to make sure the staff and the ayis stay healthy. They are a society living under quarantines and many in lock-down without any idea when this nightmare will be over for them. The people we work with there are putting the children first, and that is all we can ask for - that they stand in the gap for the most vulnerable, especially now...when the rubber meets the road. And we all serve with HOPEFUL hearts.
