A Future And A Hope

Skills For Life

“I need a job.” We’re hearing that sentiment frequently these days from six of our older students at New Beginnings School for the Deaf. Having mastered basic reading, writing, signing, and math skills, these emerging adults want to earn money! Under the pictures below are the words of 17-year-old Anh. Hear his heart about his past, present, and future. You are making a way for Anh and his classmates to live independently and contribute to the world in meaningful ways. Orphan Voice supports the hopes and dreams of the young adults in all our programs. Some are now nurses, bank tellers, or university students. For others, we continue to develop vocational opportunities for their futures! Whether growing vegetables, crafting quality leather goods, assembling intricate pop-up cards, creating traditional paintings on rice paper, or arranging apprenticeships in successful businesses, the Lord has a plan for each child entrusted to our care!

I have harvested my plants. I am quite satisfied with the results I achieved. Growing my vegetables helped me realize 2 things. First, I can grow vegetables for myself or to sell. Second, if I give myself wholeheartedly to my work, I can have success and good results.

I thank Orphan Voice for helping me in school and sign language and also for give me useful life skills.”
